Yamaha 150 HP midsection

[glendebi]

I am in the process of replacing the midsection on my 1985 150 hp Yamaha outboard due to severe corrosion. The bolts securing the powerhead sheared off during disassembly. Luckily I saved the powerhead. I have since located a used midsection via the internet and the salvage broker sent me a photo of a unit that is one year younger (1986). It looks identical to the one I removed except in much better condition. Can anyone tell me if the year difference is an issue I need to consider? The model # of my motor is 150ETLK. Thanks in advance for any help.

It will fit. Actually any midsection up till the mid 90's will work. Curious, how much did ja have to give? I have several laying around and didn't really think they were worth much.

Thanks for the rapid response Capt. They are asking $200.00 shipped from Orlando Fla. I think I will give it a go as the powerhead is in excellent condition and runs like a champ.
