VP 275 Transom Seal

[rucaradio]

I'm in need of a new transom seal for my outdrive. The genuine VP seal is roughly $75. Does anyone know of any "cheaper" aftermarket replacements? Sierra Marine, etc?

Nope,....

Have you Confirmed the transom isn't Rotten,....
Those seals Rarely go Bad, unless the transom is Rotten...

Yep. The transom was rotten. Actually replaced the whole thing last weekend. I want to replace that seal so I don't get water into my nice clean, dry, new wood.

Don S. mentioned this particular seal a week or two ago in a thread. He mentioned that if the seal is "flat" it's bad and needs replaced. Mine is. Just looking not to have to dump almost $100 into a 36" seal.
