Installation Notes
Installation requires accessing the outboard's steering bracket assembly, which varies between Bracket 2 or Bracket 3 based on your model year. The old bushing must be carefully pressed out and the new one pressed in, ensuring correct alignment to prevent premature wear. We strongly recommend consulting your engine's official service manual for detailed procedures and torque specifications. For safety and reliability, professional installation is advised.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this bushing fits my engine?
Verify your engine model and year against the compatibility table. This part is specifically for Yamaha VF200, VF225, and VF250 V6 4-Stroke outboards from 2012–2022. Confirm your original part number is 90386-38M89-00 or the superseded 90386-38M32-00.
What are the signs of a worn or failed steering bushing?
Common symptoms include excessive play, stiffness, or clunking sounds in the steering system, particularly when turning the outboard. A visual inspection may reveal cracking, deformation, or deterioration of the bushing material.
Is a special tool required for installation?
Yes, a hydraulic press or a specialized bushing driver tool is typically required to safely extract the old bushing and install the new one without damaging the steering bracket housing.
My old part number is 90386-38M32-00. Is this correct?
Yes. Yamaha officially superseded part number 90386-38M32-00 with 90386-38M89-00. This is the correct, updated replacement part for your application.
Where is this bushing located on the engine?
It is located within the steering bracket assembly. For 2012–2021 models, it is found in the "Bracket 2" assembly. For 2021–2022 models, it is in the "Bracket 3" assembly, as noted in the compatibility chart.
