Those brackets came directly from Latham. I am pretty sure the 500 and the 525 brackets were different but probably only due to the length of the offset spacers that went behind the plate that the res bolted to. Just take a piece of cardboard and fab up a template. If you have the res and the engine available it should be fairly straight forward. I can get you some up close photos if you need them. Send me an email adam at saccentimarine dot com.
The height of this bracket was not Mark's issue. It was something they tried to correct the "catch" in the steering.

I'm guessing the mounting holes on the 525 would be different as well if it's only a height issue I won't have one.

You can try. I think Mark had some luck buying from them direct (filter). They used to tell you to pound sand unless you were an oem or dealer. In todays market, it may be a different story. Be ready to pull out your wallet! Mark can chime in here.
They were anodized blue. I cannot remember if they bolted to the heads or not. If they did, the bolt pattern would be the same. The difference would be how far offset from the fwd face of the head each bracket would be.

I'll send you a email on possibly coming up with something.

Adam do you think if I called Latham I'd be able to still buy this setup? I have the resevoir and resources to make it but by the time I buy the materials and powdercoat it I'm wondering if I'm not money ahead buying it?

Latham bracket and mounting hardware was 49.95 plus shipping and of course a COD charge as they don't take any form of payment other than cash or check.
And companies wonder why they're going out of business.

Got a question for a buddy of mine from another site. Do you guys know if the 20OL kept the same cockpit layout from start to finish? His is a 2008, but the template for his carpet is a 2003 cockpit. Can you guys help me out?

Yep, the carpet pattern never changed on the 20 Outlaw from 03' to the last 08' made. About the only thing that changed was the graphic decals, and the motorlid vinyl skins from year, to year.
