I had basically the same question and from what I can find it is very common for these to rust very badly. The consensus however is that even when badly rusted these often retain more than enough structural integrity to remain functional and safe to use. It also seems to be the consensus that these are difficult to replace because it requires the removal of the powerhead from the outboard.
