Yamaha made s Saltwater Series and used carbs or the OX type fuel injection. I don't think this motor matches the details you've given. If the motor mentioned is a nice clean fresh water motor, then its worth that much at a premium.
As far as you going back merc, I've got a 5" extension and several 25" lower units laying around. Once I get this one boat  in my yard finished, I may be able to free up some parts if you need. |
Actually, since I have time, I was sorta thinking about bringing it down to you and letting you do it. (ROAD TRIP!!!) Do I really need a 25" lower unit? Can't I just use the same lower end with the extension and a different drive shaft? What about the shift rod and the pick up tube?
Yes, The engine is a Johnson. Sorry for any confusion. It looks very much like my Merc though.. not the wide spread cowl of the 90* engines .. more like the narrow cowl of the 60* Mercs. ( I know the degrees are probably off, but you get the idea.. it's a narrow engine. Very nice looking. It's not a freshwater engine though.)
