yam 90 aeto same as US 90's???

[cockpit]

I've luckily aquired a 1999 (manuf. date) Yamaha 90 aeto outboard, which I gather is not the US version of the Yamaha 90. The prop shaft is slightly bent and needs replacing.
After hours of looking on internet, I cant find a site that recognizes the 90 aeto.
Does anyone know if the 90 aeto is the same motor as any of the US versions, and if so then which one? This will go a long way in helping with future parts purchases.
No depth of experience with outboards, so looking for a little help. Thanks.

This question has been asked many times about different size Yamahas and I have never seen an answer. I have seen a very few European models and the parts needed were the same as the American models. If the shaft is only slightly bent, many machine shops can straighten them to spec.

A machine shop should have no problem straightening your shaft. It cost me around $40 to have mine straightened & they polished the seal surfaces while they were at it.

In case you don't know, you can download the factory service manuals for your AETO 90 (they have parts breakdowns for most yamaha outboards also) for free from this russian webpage: http://babelfish.altavista.com/babe...n&url=http://www.eastmarine.ru/?npm=400&prd=1 I linked it thru Altavista to translate it incase you can't read russian d. I used these manuals for my US C85 and there was very little difference between them, mostly in the ignition system & my C series had no oil injection. just navigate thru the webpage & they are all there.
