Hey Oz, I see why you are skeptical about oil injection. A blown powerhead would piss me off too.
OMC's VRO yes I would get rid of. Merc 2.5 efi plastic crank gear and NO motion sensor yes get rid of. The only problem with tha Yamaha system especially from '90 on up is that the control module for the oil injection is built it to the ecu and not a seperate unit. So if it fails(very rare but I have seen it happen) you need to drop $1000 for a new ecu. There is a small inline filter on the remote oil tank back by the electric pump. If that is replaced every other year or so the system should be trouble free.
