    mariner 25 swivel bushings.

    I've got an early 80s yamaha built mariner 25. I need to replace the swivel bushings and some are not available. Would an 84 yamaha 25 use the same bushings? The parts diagram looks exactly the same and the yamaha parts are available and cheaper.

    I need to change the oil for the first time in a boat I bought last year. The PO told me to use 30 weight but did not specify regular or synthetic. I was figuring on using a heavy duty diesel oil to have a little more zinc.
