Title: Yamaha Tiller arm experiment
Post by: SDL on May 05, 2014, 03:59:25 PM

Just completed a project on a very corroded tiller arm on my otherwise great running 150 Yamaha. Apparently, this is a common with these motors. Thought there might be someone out there needing to know a repair can be done, without removing the powerhead and midsection. I have added several pics, but they do not seem to be loading????
