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 ?
Thanks for your help.

Yamaha has quite a reputation when it comes to repair parts availability.

It could be faster if you can get the required parts numbers from your
repair shop and try to find them yourself. Do a search to find as many
dealers as you can on the net then contact each one with a parts query.
Perhaps a part here or there will fill the bill.

The shift cable should be easy. The mounting kit sounds problematic.
Another source may be a salvage yard. There are several around.

Good luck.

Thanks Butch, I'll give that a try.

I was there maybe three years ago when a friend bought a barely used
Yamaha to repower his boat. They have hundreds of shifters, cables,
harnesses, etc.
