Mine is really corroded, it's the last thing I need to do is the timing before putting this thing in the water! Can someone sent me a picture of theirs with the degrees on it?

The numbers might be engraved (stamped) into that tab. Try hitting it with some emery cloth or light sand paper, What do you have to loose, it's not legible as it is now.

It doesn't look very shiny, think you stopped to early or need to step it up with the grit.
