Placed this Ad in the wanted section. Have a new one on order but the part is back ordered from Mercury.

This tie rod mount took a crap and busted the outer housing around the gimbal's lower pin. It turns out that the tie rod end mount was defective from the factory. A close look and you can see the dark area where it was cracked from day one. The crack is by the weld which is a result of not heating both pieces properly before welding. The design also sucks if you compare this part to others. The base plate should be a lot shorter with either an additional spline or the top bracket or clevis closer to the bolts.

I already have the new mounts as pic'd below. Need a gimbal. Gimbals are backordered and there is boating to be done and time is a wasting. Keith, you know having extra parts is never bad. I just never have what I need.

These are Marine Machine. You can tell because there is no name on the equipment.

Good luck he has a lot of new and used parts.
I like spare parts you never need them once you buy them.
