Cooling fan motor going out. Know it is fan as have removed and hooked direct to 12V. Will not start by itself but runs if you give the fan an assist. I only use the unit for minor work at country place and too old to be running in the water, dirt, etc. Any type of unsealed fan would probably last me a long time. Any alternatives to purchasing a Yamaha fan. My heart almost stopped when Yamaha quoted me a price. Any comments would be appreciated.

 

Have you checked ebay?
