yamaha stern drive coupler

[canam1991]

i have a 93 kayot 18' deck boat with a 4.3 gm and the coupler just went bad is there a aftermarket part available or will a omc or Volvo be the same? also the sierra kit posted in another topic does that require me replacing the drive yoke to a mercrusier?

thank you

I believe in the case of my 5.7 that the mercruiser coupler is a direct bolt-up.

I would replace the yoke just because of wear.

The yoke and u joints look new not to long ago. So should I get the whole plate,or just the unboltable couple? And what part number is the part. Thank you

Ken, is there a non-Yamaha direct equivalent for the yokes?
