I had a bunch custom made just for this reason. They are lazer cut stainless and have the bolts as well. Call me and I can sell you a set if you need it and explain how to do the repair. Matt 714 369 7410

I just had the seals and shafts replaced on the steering on my Bravo's. This is the upper shaft that the gimball pivots on. They were able to do this without removing the engines by using an after market kit where they cut a hole in the upper rear area of the casting on the transom and install a polished stainless steel plate over the hole when done. The installation came out very clean looking. This was done on both drives and the cost was $2,100.00 My mechanic told me that he gave me a 15% discount on parts and labor. I have nothing to compare this to. I don't know if that was a good price or not. The shop labor rate is normally $100.00 per hour. I know that they are expensive, but they do good work.
What have others paid for a similar repair?
The shafts, part number 98230A1 cost $291.60 each, that seemed like a lot of money, but again I have nothing to compare it to.
