Had a big leak after the last trip and could barely get the Yamaha up. It's at my local Grady dealer and it it's just a seal or two, no biggie, but he explained that the unit may have coroded over the years (2001 model) and if so, I'll need a whole trim/tilt unit running about $3,200!! Does that sound "correct"?
If it's the entire unit gone bad, can someone point me in the direction of a place where I can get the best price on a new unit? I'm not interested in anything on E-Bay or a used unit.
I'm just trying to do some pre-emptive planning......... just in case.
BTW...... the unit has been running slower lately (last 6 months) and with a small oil slick occasionally behind the boat but the last trip the slick was a bit bigger and I could barely get the motor up........ indicating a loss of fluid. I have my fingers crossed for a blown seal.......
Thanks in advance!
