If it's a newer model Yamaha, I bet I know what happened.

The tilt lever on these motors is horrible to flip when the motor is in full tilt.  All my newer 25's have them and I hate them.  I've written Yamaha and told them so.  It caused a mom and 2 boys to drift into the island below our dam this spring.  They couldn't get the motor down to move.

You have to stand on your head and have a rubber wrist to reach the lever and then it's actually hard to flip.

My motors are 3 years old I think and they haven't changed the lever... yet.

Yes, the engineer that designed that has obviously never been fishing, even once.   Send that bonehead back to the piano factory.

I've spent a lot of hours in the water,  in the dark, sometimes by my self,  and I'm still more of a nervous Nelly in any boat with moving water...
