Need Gimbal housing stud #'s

[Marada92]

Hello guys... I am looking for the Merc serial # for the gimbal housing studs that connect the housing to the transom. This is for an Alpha 1 Gen II. (Serial#OF332901) Ive searched old threads and searched for an hour on google with no luck. Bottom four studs are rusted and a little eaten up from a rotten transom, but im going to replace them all just for good measure while I have it off. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Much thanks Don! I had found a few different ones on a website but none had pictures just part #'s and vague descriptions.

I havent tried to take them out yet.... Wanted to get the new ones in and ensure they were correct before I pulled anything out. Ill let you know when I get it done.

They probably have locktite on them, heat will help. If corrosion from salt water, more heat.
