Do you have to be the original owner of the motor to buy warranty? I'm buying a used boat and wondering if I can buy a warranty for the motor?

From Yamaha's web site:
How can I register my new Yamaha outboard(s) for warranty or transfer ownership of an outboard I bought used?
Your selling Yamaha dealership will register or transfer ownership of the Yamaha outboard(s) into your name.
New outboard motor warranty registrations must be completed by an authorized Yamaha dealership. Only a Yamaha dealer may perform the factory-specified Pre-delivery Inspection, which is a requirement for engine warranty registration. This inspection checks that the engine(s) were rigged and are operating correctly. A Yamaha dealer is also in the best position to provide you with an explanation of operation and maintenance procedures.
If you purchase your Yamaha outboard(s) from a non-Yamaha dealership or from an individual, then contact your local Yamaha dealership for warranty registration or transfer of ownership. Yamaha dealership will need to evaluate the outboard(s) to verify that they are in normal running condition. There may be a charge for these services.
If you are having a problem with your registration or ownership transfer, or if you would like verification of warranty coverage, please contact the Yamaha Outboard Customer Relations line at (866) 894-1626.
Regarding purchasing YES:
How do I buy Y.E.S. (Yamaha Extended Service)?

All purchases must be completed before the expiration your limited factory warranty.
