As you may have seen, I am looking to replace my Yammie 9.9 Hi Thrust due to oil pan /upper case corrosion.
I really like the motor and have now found the parts to repair the beast.
A good oil pan with exhaust housing and a good upper case. Can get all items for just under $200.
Has anyone tackled this chore before?
My motor currently goes through about 1/2 a liter of oil in a 2 day trip,then stops leaking. I have a few trips planned in August and Sept. where I will need the kicker,but most of my use is usually in the Fraser River as this is an inboard Jetboat...
Yes I do get the looks when guys see me hauling in a Hali at 7 mile bank off Bamfield!! That is priceless.
I am thinking maybe grab the parts now,put up with adding a bit of oil for now,and dig into the repair over the winter when I have a few months of no boating.
By then my son will have his engine swap done and I will own my shop and tools once again(I hope!!).
Any thoughts and experience with this sort of repair would be most appreciated.
I do have lots of mechanical experience and according to my wife,every tool known to man.
Thanks guys ,as always I know someone will have good advice..
