yep.
that is the place Boscoe.
the shafts work very well and the install is simple.

That is good to know. This will be my choice when I need to change mine when it rusts out. As I am running only in freshwater let’s hope that's not for a while!

So had the boat out today. Still wouldn't select reverse. Maybe I do need to do the synchronization........Has anyone got a link to the manual for a ProV 200 P200TLRP. I just want to have a read so If I do take it to someone I know what they are doing and know what I'm roughly going to be charged.

Sydney Skier:

Attached is a "Maintenance Interval Chart" for a P200, 1998 Yamaha Service Manual. This is not necessarily for your engine, but should be similar. Tried to attach procedures, but file to large.

I had a hard time looking for your manual, but I did find this:

Everyone asks if you check your shift shaft. Can you answer please!

Looks like you are not familiar/comfortable with the maintenance procedures. If I were you, I would have both the 100 and 200 hour maintenances done per Yamaha Service Manual. Of course have the technician check the shift shaft first, if you had not yet had this done. Be sure the tech is certified and ask for quote before work begins.

After all, you do want your motor to be reliable and running at it's best, RIGHT!

I suggest you look at the control cables. They're a maintenance item, cheap, take less time than a trip to the shop and eliminate a potential issue. If the shaft is an issue, the cables likely need attention too.

I should have done mine long before I did.

Still don't think the shift shaft was checked. Reminds me of CaptnSolo, what about this? what about that?
