Real quick question - before I make a whopping $15 mistake.

I pulled my drives off to paint and when I put them back on I want to replace the gaskets/orings. Should I buy genuine Mercruiser kits, or can I just get ones off Ebay?

Any tips are always appreciated - this is my first time having them off....

Mercruiser.... They are cheap enough and not worth using aftermarket stuff that may not fit right.

Buying parts off E-bay is not a smart move. When it comes to mercruiser parts. Buy them from a merc dealer. Merc parts comes in mercury sealed bags . Don't take a chance on aftermarket parts. ITS NOT WORTH IT !!

I think retail on them is $7.99 a set.

I ended up buying them local - don't worry. Thanks for the replies.
