My repair shop has had my boat ALL summer. I'm told it needs a new shift
cable and outdrive mounting kit, which they claim is no longer available for
my 95 Yamaha outdrive.
Is this true or does someone out there know where I might find parts ?

Good deal too!

It's down to $2.56 here for cheapo.   The highest I've seen was $3.21

This should be interesting. The article includes maps showing proposed
training zones. If you look at the maps and still think this plan is a good
one, please be quiet. You are not familiar with the areas in ...

i have seen quite a few good things about the Dorsett.  I have also
seen guesses at weights on these things as well.  I have very limited
