Fueling/Motor problems - would appreciace input

My pickup looked just like yours. It`s a welded threaded collar. I too was afraid. Use a little penetrating oil overnight. Mine backed out pretty easily after I put a little muscle to it. Don`t forget the anti-sieze. They should of used it when made and they look scary, but mine came right out. The other pickup is for twins.
VST`s are notorious on Yamis

I'm not sure I would be bothered with it and just use the other one if that might be an issue, although I don't think thats it anyway.

Sandy what happened with the boat guy - I saw a comment by him but no details
