One other important and very valuable thing in the transfer of Hoye pages to the Parts ASAP pages is dropping the OE part numbers. So many of us rely on the verification of getting the right part for fit, form and function. Having to make phone calls will cause many of use to seek other vendors instead.We have heard that they are trying to implement this in the new website in the future. We just don't have any information just yet on the matter. So for the mean time we are happy to help you as best as we can.
Hoye's site was very special, one could key into nearly any search engine a Yanmar part number and the EXACT part or assembly would be found taking you to the Hoye part(s) you needed in a flash. With this gone, the other 2 competitors having those part numbers listed would then increase their market share. Parts ASAP will loose on sales volumes in a huge way.
Anytime I've search for Yanmar parts, Parts ASAP tends not to be in the results due to no OE part numbers in the search criteria. A majority of us have the Parts Manuals, we look via the part numbers in the search engines.
I for one and the main lead to the YTOG membership, want the Yanmar OE part numbers for the parts I'm looking for. Without them, it's anyone's guess what would work towards matching parts to OE.
