[QUOTE="Darkside, post: 232533, member: 6899"] I can add a few items of value. [b]1.[/b] Outboard Jets (Specialty MFG) supply ALL the outboard jet units found on Yamaha, Honda and Mercury jet ready outboard. They also supply units for Evinrude, Suzuki, Tohatsu and Nissan. If there is a jet unit on an outboard, it was made there. The cost of these units will range from $1400 to $2800 depending on the size of the pumps. [b]2. [/b]When a boat is equiped with a Prop Drive, the engine will have to be raised 6-7" on the transom to operate correctly. In most instances, the transom will have to be rased. [b]3. [/b]Stainless Steel hardware will bond with cast aluminum when subjected to salt water. The best way to prevent this is to coat the bolts and hardware with Bostic Never Seez. This is the 5 bolts that hold the jet unit onto the outboard, the 4 bolts that hold the bearing carrier in place, the 4 bolts that hold the water pump on and the nuts and studs that hold the intake shoe in place. DO THIS and you'll save yourself a tom of machine and tooling work later. [/QUOTE]
