Saw this posted on THT over the w/e. Apparently Yamaha has decided to offer a kit at cost to repair exhaust
corrosion on the F225 4 strokes. Sent the info to my dealer in CT who confirmed with Yamaha that they are doing this but parts may not be available yet. Sounds like this guy got them. Not sure if Yamaha will reimburse those who paid full price for these parts or not. This is the original info below with part no.

Just delivered from Yamaha 225 replacement exhaust kit
Part # exh kit F200-22 5 02-03
The kit has all the parts needed to repair corrosion on the 225 four stroke
I talked to yamaha at the Ft Lauderdale show, Salesperson said Yamaha is selling kit at cost
for the exhaust corrosion. I ordered it from my local dealer Walkers Marine Ft Myers 239-481-5043 Ken at parts.
Around $600 for each engine Delivered!! It took about 5 wks to get 2 kits regular price was
about $2500 for parts each motor. Kit has all gaskets and manifolds I am waiting for Grouper season to close before i have them installed. Not sure what labor will be yet. I"m thinking
$3000 total cost for both engines parts and labor.. I will save around 5k on replacement..
