|  Yamaha Hood stuck 
			
			Greetings all, A guy I work with recently purchased a 2016 Key West 239 with a Yamaha 300. He can't get the hood off the motor to check the oil, says that 2 of the latches won't budge. Any tips or tricks?

			Yeah, I saw all the stuff on the Internet...figured I would try asking here figuring Spare or Ferm may have dealt with it. His biggest problem is that the dealers are all 3 weeks behind and your boat has to be on their lot to hold your place in line.

			Never, he just bought it Friday.  He bought it from a rich guy who pays another guy to store it, put in, take out, have maintenance done. That guy claimed preseason maintenance was done, but not by him, by a dealer. So really no telling. It is only one latch btw.
