Yamaha 50hp on ebay
Nothing to do with me but know that there are plenty of SR4 owners on here that want one.

I know I’ve seen it on ebay and I’m very tempted for my SR4 project.

Needs some work though?

better to have trim and tilt and change the seals than have to lift it manually, the 40 yammie i had on my SR4 was heavy enough.

very nice, but the price looks set to go silly on it.

I have been told that there are no seals available for that outboard and I have had two quotes today for over £1000 for a new ram

I would have thought seals were available for the 40hp? The 40V (6H4) and 50G (6H5) engines use the same block and same power-trim unit. I spent 2 years looking for a Yammie 50hp... suffice to say I gave up the quest. Looks like a late 80's, early 90's engine. Pretty sure the cowl design changed from 1992 on. The ID plate will identify the year of manufacture. Wouldn't be surprised if it makes £1k.

Yes, I'd say 1991, going off the decals.

Where's it leaking from? Depending how adventurous / comfortable you feel, It's going to be an O- ring or a gasket that needs replaced. If you are confident dismantling things, there's not a lot to those rams. I got spare seals for mine off the shelf, plenty of places sell O-rings! Just make sure they (material wise) are rated to handle hydraulic oil.

Also check out Mallory & Sierra (although your O/B shop should have done that already!)
