Author Topic:   90 Merc Bottom Yoke

My 2003 Merc has some rust on what I believe is the bottom yoke ( the top circumference shows about 1/8th inch delamination from corrosion) and the horizontal bolts holding it to the motor are also rusting. I ran the motor this weekend with absolutely no problems. Last night I was surprised to see an "o"-ring about 1.5 inches in diameter resting on the motor (lower unit?) just below the yoke , which looked like it simply fell down from the yoke. Is this an expensive fix, does it indicate other, perhaps more serious issues, and/or is it something that should be left to a mechanic to change?
Thanks for the help to a newbie whose repair manual has not arrived yet.
