I bought HP gambles and bells they look exactly the same as the stock ones I took off apart from the hinge pins they just push in and held in with very small screws . With the HP label I though I was getting the much bigger ones . I can't see them being any stronger .

At one time the HP rings were stronger. But I was told by a Merc Mech That after a certain date they were all cast the same way and out of the same material.That's what I was told. But the after market Imco units are strong.But for the price why go for it if you are not running big power. Stock units will take a beating. Just my 2 cents JOHN SR

Got any interested in just buying a rebuilt Imco gimbal? Just got done with it new bellows, bearing, new shift cable, transom seal, new bushings, rebuilt trim cylinders, Unfortunately I was asked to powdercoat it silver it to match a sportmaster lower and got stiffed. So it is silver. if interested email me [email protected]
Thanks
