OP - sorry for the mercruiser advice.

Dont blast BUP - he is one of the most knowledgeable/helpful people on this site, particularly when it comes to OEM stuff.

On a different note, JB welding a block off plate is just plain crazy. You should find a genuine block off plate to screw in. If that thing breaks your boat is going down fast.

Thanks for the positive reply for my end. I was not trying to be mean nor point any fingers but really felt that getting right to the point was needed in replies, I'm still a New Yorker so you know how that can go sometimes . Some are going to like ya and some are truely going to hate ya.

John don't try to blame living in NY 30 years ago for not being nice. All NYers aren't like that. 😁
