Hello Guys. I have a 2004 225 Optimax with serial number OT832521. The swivel pin and yoke are rusty and need replacing. I have found a blown 2007 200 Optimax that I can pick up for a good price and it has a nice swivel assembly. Serial number is 1B528755.

My plan is to swap midsections so I end up with a tight swivel assembly. I assume these mid sections are interchangeable? What gaskets, sealer, lube, nuts, and bolts would I need to make this swap? I understand the basic removal of the powerhead and lower unit. I live near European Marine and can go pick up all the parts from Don.

Thanks for the help !
