Following on from my post Yamaha F30 DIY Repairs/Service
I've attached a few photos at various stages of the repair and one of the tools used.
In one of the photos the wear on the drive shaft can clearly been seen this was the first indication something was not right.
Although it looks badly corroded it is actually build up of salt which although hard is quite easy to remove.
I was surprised to find no corrosion of the alloy housing, any damage caused while removing the salt incrustation was easily re painted with a primer etch spray paint.
