Yamaha crank sleeve

[jws]

Anyone dealt with the issue where the seal wears a groove in the crank shaft and creates an oil leak? I've looked all over the damn place and apparently its a common problem because the part (Yamaha# MAR-CRKSL-VE-00) is on back order from Yamaha until April 17th or so. I basically have the motor ready to pull the power head off but have to wait 3 friggin weeks to get a small metal sleeve to go over the crank. I went ahead and ordered 2 just in case the other one has the same thing happen and won't be in this situation again. If anyone has a lead on where to get one, holla!

This is the best I can tell ya. I'm not going to pull the powerhead until I have the part.

I actually already had an order in with them. I just re-checked and they say available 3/31 now. Hopefully won't miss anything good out there!
