They are great motors, But in 94 (The Salt water Series) they changed the shift rods to Stainless as they all rot and you no longer can shift them.

They can sometimes be a ***** to replace as the power head has to be removed to do it. And the rotted bolts will break.

If you are lucky to get them out the job is preety easy to do. BS got all his out and mine also was with out issue. If you do your self its pretty cheap, but can be costly at a marina!! I have heard storys of almost a grand!!

Good Luck!

Good Luck!
