I have 2004 Yamaha f225 with 460 hrs, yesterday the leg went kaboom. the gears inside are wrecked. Should we replace the leg and keep using the outboard or should we upgrade.
In the last year (only owned the boat since May of 2017, we have done the following:
Oil pump, Crank case had oil leak so that got split and resealed, new power/tilt assembly, new oil pressure sensor, new neutral switch sensor.
There is a fair bit of corrosion around the power head and it had a top end rebuild on it before i got it (i didnt find that out till after)
if i was to repower it would more than likely be a yamaha so i can reuse the current rigging.
any advice would be awesome
