Yamaha corrosion
I'm hoping you guys can help me decide whether or not to scrap the engine on my new boat. Its an 85 yamaha 225 with the typical corrosion issues. If the compression test is bad then its gone but if its ok then the choice gets tougher. The lower unit has a pretty big crack which after lots of research Ive found is pretty typical and can be welded, jb welded or just left alone. The steering tube (if that what its called) not the tilt tube is corroded pretty badly as well. See the pics and let me know what you all think. Is she a keeper or a scrapper?
