Let me know how long it takes to get it and how it is to do business with them. It was coastal marine export right? I it shows the magnums as $2003 or something like that. He $1869 ones are the standard. I e mailed with the guy and he said the magnums can only hold up to like 420hp to. Anything over that you need the hp

I was looking at the magnum one. With shipping from where flyin-Bryan got his it's like $2150. I would have it shipped to 12106. The ones on the classifieds on here come with a 1 year warranty. Is that the factory one?

I want to add about the below dealer cost parts that certain people sell and post online. One is they have alot bullchit, 2 is they claim they are great friends with Merc - 3 is they claim that they wrench on boats and were master techs at one time plus worked for Merc out in the field. Again alot of Bullchit.
Next BS - when you order the parts I bet the serial number will not be on your parts. For the transom assembly it will be scraped off and that plate will be turned around so you will not know any better. The warranty will be voided thru Merc but yes you saved on those cheap price parts from someone that is stealing the parts out the back door or has international distributors supplying these parts that never leave the USA. International distributors out of Miami can not covered USA warranties.
I understand its all about price again I understand its all about buying at the cheapest price ever but you get what you pay for. Its a matter of time before certain parts sellers - selling below dealer cost, that will come to end. Think about this, if dealers can not buy that same part for what the seller is selling it for - does that tell you something ??
I looked and seen who was the cheap man on the block selling the transom assemblies and I kind of already knew who it was but had to look anyways. Yep the guy that could not warranty anything thru Merc and the serial numbers will be missing. $ 2100 with shipping is below dealer cost. Also lets guess - the BS that you will hear is - best of friends with Merc and thats why he can get these parts below any PLATINUM MERC DEALER in the USA. All Bullchit.
I will check to see what price I could sell it for but it will not be 2100 bucks shipped for the magnum TA but like I said NO BS with me and all serial numbers intact 100 %.
Good luck and there is always a reason for the cheap man on the block selling below what dealers can even buy that same part for.

When you order that cheapest brand new magnum transom assembly in the country and by chance the serial number is on the plate ( the plate across the gimbal ring bolts). Please post it - I will check on the warranty for you at no charge.

I did not buy from the one in the classifieds,I bought from my dealer not because of what is posted here but because I rent space from him and wanted to give him the sale and I buy all my other merc stuff from him, to be clear it was very little over what they are posted in the classifieds for.
