Before you take the plunge, check the shift shaft that goes from by the engine down to the lower unit. It is VERY prone to rusting through on the early pre 94 engines, and the powerheads many times are frozen to the mid section so you can't replace it with the new style one. I've heard they are making a 2 piece replacement now though that doesn't require pulling the powerhead, but I've never used one. Theres alot of YAMAHA's out there that have been trashed because of the shift shaft and frozen powerhead problem.
