Gimbal Ring

[Jerryh3]

While putting the outdrive back on the boat today, I snapped off a piece of the plastic pad that is at the bottom of the gimbal ring. Does anyone know if this piece if replaceable? I looked on mecurypartsexpress.com, but it doesn't have a part number for them.

Ayuh,.... It's a alignment/ torque pad,...

I gotta believe it's replaceable, they come off easy enough...

Ok. Think I found them. They're actually part of the upper housing and not the gimbal ring. Mercruiser calls them wear pads. Long day.

Buy a couple extras as I've found those will break pretty easy....even new ones.

I hear you on that. (Kinda like the blue plastic drain plugs!)
