How difficult to swap out if you find a good one, but w/old steel shaft?...think I recall seein' it here and didn't sound like too big a deal...

I think you got to pull the engine apart to do it. Also Yammi did a steel switch before they even went to a stainless due to corrosion problems and I think that was earlier than 91-92. Mine is a 92 and I believe it is stainless though not sure

94 or 95 is when they went to it. I have a 93 250 parts motor that definately does NOT have the stainless shaft in it. And yes the powerhead MUST come off to do it. MONKEYBUTLER has a post about replacing his and all of the fun he's been through with it.

I know I have heard of '92 150's with shift problems. I'm in the middle of doing this job on my '86 220HP. Here's a link...
