Default Steering Arm Replacement

I have been keeping an eye on my steering arm the last few seasons as it is fairly rusty, 91 Yamaha 200, and I think this is the year it needs to be replaced. I took my boat in for winterization, I know you D%^& southerners don't need to worry about this, and my mechanic thought it was near the end of it's useful life. They quoted me just under $1200 for the whole project, which I thought seemed reasonable with the amount of work involved. This would include new motor mounts, bolts, arm labor etc. The motor still has great compression and runs well, knock on wood, so I think it is worth it. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Mark

You may spending what the motor is worth? http://www.nadaguides.com/default.as...Y&gc=MR&gtc=OB I'm not saying their overcharging you, the parts alone are atleast half of the quote. But you may just run it the way it is, and keep your eye open for a deal.
