    2006 Yamaha 200 4 Stroke question

    I've got the opportunity to purchase this motor for 7500USD. Has a rebuilt powerhead. Compression is good, starts, runs, accelerates smoothly. Are there any known issues with this engine? Was the internal corrosion problem fixed by this point? Thanks in advance for any comments or thoughts.

    Lower Unit Won't Drop- 1995 250 Txrt

    All- Really fairly maddening. We've pulled all of the bolts, even the "hidden" one. It won't drop. We've tapped it, hammered it, etc. Nothing seems to work. Any idea of what the problem is? Thanks much in advance.
