Parts Needed - Yamaha Sterndrive

I have a Yamaha Diesel w/ Hydradrive sterndrive. Problem is that I'm in the US and there is no help with these here (apparently lawyers were involved). Anyway, my current problem is with an intermediate shift cable. I need to purchase the cable along with any other parts that will be required to get that cable replaced (gaskets, etc.).

I could also use a gimbal bearing boot.

Biffer - YOU ROCK!

You have no idea how long I've been searching for a US dealer for these parts. And I live very close to New York. I cannot figure out for the life of me why I haven't found them sooner. I'm good with google searches and such and have failed and YOU have come through. Thank you very much!!!!!!

That's not a touch of cabin envy I hear there Biffer, is it?

no envy here, i don't mind what other rib builders do, i just said it as i see it, sorry if he is only a guy who own's a redbay but even so i wouldn't have sent a guy from the states to ireland for some bits, i could have supplied him with the bits myself, but i didn't, i sent him to a place near his home, redbay may do maybe 100 sterndrives a year on ribs and they maybe the biggest in europe but i still doubt they have these bits on the shelf, what i offered the guy was a direct route to his problem without pushing my boats at all, merry christmas!
