Stern Brackets For BF-50L

[linwin]

Hello,
I just recently purchased a 1985 BF-50L 5 horse Honda. All is good except that the motor was previously dropped and both stern brackets broke off!! The price was right but now I find that Honda has discontinued production on these brackets leaving me high and dry! Good motor with no way to mount it.
Question, anyone out there have this motor as a parts unit and would you sell the brackets?
Thanks,
Richard

I think I have a set in my boneyard but give me some frame numbers .That engine has changed very little since it's introduction so it is hard to believe they are NLA.

Hondon, I have a motor number, BF50-1006059, year possibly 1985-86 ! If this is not enough then where might the frame # be?

That engine # will work fine.It's just a little harder to find.I printed your info and will try to remember to check it out shortly.Sometimes I need a little reminder as my briefcase can get a little full.

Had them in the boneyard but the boss thru them out .The only reason those parts are obsolete is the paint.Try part #50310 zvi 841zb to start and keep in mind there is a right and left. That now comes as an assembly with the thumb screws and all intact.Check the boneyards that are out there ,shipwreckmarine,ranchomarinesalvage,stoneandsons ,are all people that I have done buisness with on occasion.I'm know there are several more out there.

I ordered a pair (50300-50310) of new brackets, as was pointed out the only difference is the paint color.
Thanks,
