Ever replace a power pack on your outboard?

Would like to hear some first hand knowledge of it. How much do they cost, etc.... Thanks in advance for any info.

once many years ago,40hp yamaha 1985 model.it was a 3cyl. engine power pack then cost about $400.00 . easy to install, just make sure yours is bad

I just replaced one on a 25 hp Merc for @$175.00 off ebay. Nothing to the replacement if you can work a screwdriver. But, come to find out, mine was OK. It turned out to be a magnet under the flywheel had come unglued and was keeping it from running on one cylinder.

I do it all the time. Easy replacement. Call me if ya need help or advise.

Ha! I done the exact same thing, only I replaced the power pack and the stator twice before I found the loose magnet under the flywheel. That was an expensive lesson.
