Question on 280 k planes
Does anyone sell a longer bolt with the threaded insert for the trim tabs? They are 280 k planes. I am talking about the threaded stud that the hose screws into that goes through the transom. My transom is 4" thick and I will to drill a very big hole half way through the transom to catch the nut. I will hate to do that with a new transom. Or is there another solution?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Many many years ago I made one out of a stainless dowel. If you took your old one to a machine show I'm sure they could fab one up. The only thing I had to do different was where the hose connects to the tube. The tube has a internal brake line flare. I machined the inside for pipe thread and screwed a brake line adapter fitting into it.

Standard stud is 4.5", mercury offers a 6" if that will help

Mercury is always very proud of their stuff! That is for the set of 4, it eases the pain a little bit!
Just remember the peak pressure can be close to 3000 PSI, and if one of them leaks it will be injecting hydraulic fluid under pressure right into your transom.
