Thats your water pump dam it keeps the exaust from getting into the water pump <br /><br />There is a part in the upper also <br /><br />On older drives it was aluminum and then changed to rubber at some point<br /><br /> http://www.boatfix.com/merc/Servmanl/14/14b3.pdf <br /><br />Around page 78 will tell you all about it<br /><br /><br />Your look pretty rough could use some cleaning and outdrive paint<br /><br />tommays

Thanks Tommays. So if I read the manual right I can buy a rubber filler plug to replace my aluminum dam. Do you have an opinion on whether that is worth it? Is the part expensive?
