aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Well it isnt new but i finally found a 16/42 that seemed perfect for what i want it for. Springfield lake/gigging. Drove to the middle of no where to get it but i feel like i got a good deal. WRENCH!!! I wasnt event looking for a gas engine but it had one with it so i gladly took it. What do you know about these 9.8 mercs. I couldnt get anything to come up with the serial number 4997653. they said it ran last year but who knows. most the wiring under the hood looks rotton and broken coming from the switch box. It will definitly need replaced. I was going to fo a compression test before i put any money in it. Are these motors worth putting much in to? snagged in outlet 3 1
fishinwrench Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 No, it's worth more parted out. Too many NLA parts. The used lower unit is worth 250.00 The used tiller handle assembly is worth 200.00 The recoil starter assembly is worth 150.00 The remains are worth 25.00 at a recycling center. Take that 625.00 and put it towards something else.
wily Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Looks solid...back when aluminum was aluminum I like the trailer reminded me of 2 songS

Motor is in great shape top to bottom, clean as a whistle, but the only replacement CDI module available is a used one on eBay for 760.00 Yamaha no longer will sell them and there's no aftermarket. What a shame! 🙄 Terrierman 1
wily Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 I don’t mean this bad...but I think those values are like the values on antiques road show. I’ve never seen the appraisers purchase anything on the show.

I promise you that anyone needing any of the mentioned parts to keep a motor alive will pay those prices.

But if Yamaha has started playing the same shitty game that Mercury does....then they just want all of their previous motors to die and go away, assuming that you'll be forced to buy one of their new ones.
