86 yamaha 150

[spareparts]

Just got thru doing one of those for a customer, If I had charged him the amount of time I had in it, he could have bought another motor. Personally, $2000 is too high for a salt ball Yamaha, take a good look at teh trim motor, that will be the next big money issue. I know a lot of people like Yamahas, they are good running engines, but parts are high and they do corrode alot. I'd keep looking and try to find a fresh water motor, it will be worth the extra money

I forgot about that, My trim motor went also, then I could not get the side mount off and destroyed the steering tube getting it apart. But that was a great motor!!

Well I agree even if it is a great motor I can see corrosion in other places and I don't want a money pit. I am still going to talk to him again Monday and haggle, see if he might be interested in a trade of some sort ( I have a lot of good junk laying around). Thanks all....

Around $500 - $1000 in parts depending on how much you break and how resourceful you are at tracking down parts

bingo...cost me 750....and have a few cracked bolts in the power head that were stuck
