[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 474524, member: 19781"] Pio, An outboard motor is 2 distinct mechanisms that are held together by about 6 screws. Each mechanism will need to be evaluated separately. I wouldn't worry about what internet experts have claimed to be a fatal flaw in that motor. Judging from the photos I would bet you dollars that the upper unit will be in decent shape. We won't know for sure until you do a compression test after separation. The lower unit is probably dry and seized. One quick test is to open the lower unit drain and see what comes out... anything wet and oily is good news... dry as a bone is not.... Either way you'll need to get in there. Replacement legs and arms are easy to get in the zombie market..."ebay"... [/QUOTE]
