I am looking at a boat with a f225 Yamaha. After doing some reasearch I see there is a historical issue with internal corrosion for '02-'04's. This one is an '03 and I am concerned about corrosion inspection before I purchase.
Does any one have first hand knowledge of what I should ask the mechanic to inspect to make sure there is not an existing corrosion issue? My thought was to have them pull the thermostats and scope in there and to pull the lower unit and scope the "dry exhaust" area. I figured on doing thermostats and water pump anyway if I pick it up.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks
