The u-bolt nut part number is 11-134371. Can I just buy this at the hardware store instead of a marina? Does it matter?

plug kit=$30.00
Swivel pin seal=$28.00
Boots=$300.00
Trim sender (if needed)=$160.00
Labor=$1000.00-$ 1500.00
And they’re pulling the engine…

what else can i do to diagnose my problem?

Better off to just replace the entire transom assembly

Can anyone explain to me what exactly I’m looking for to figure out why I have this much play in the outdrive? I don’t have a clear understand of how it all works, so that’s an issue. I’ve just been wiggling the outdrive back and forth trying to see the parts affected.
