THANKS EVERYONE FOR THEIR INPUT AND I AM REMINDED WHY I AM AN OSO MEMBER. After trying over 30 different dealers and repair facilities all over the country I decided to call Mercruiser directly and told them the situation I was in. They had told me that this was something that they normally do not do but they would make some calls to see what they could find out. A guy named Rocky in customer service called me back 19 min later and located the part in CALI (I am in ST Louis area) at a "repower shop"? I am not sure what that is but Rocky put my mechanic in touch with that shop and they are FED EX-ing the part. Should have it completed in 36 hrs. AMEN AMEN AMEN!!! THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO REPLIED AND IT SHOWS WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE MAKE UP THIS FAMILY! :D
