Velocity mark, Do you remember who did that procedure or where was it posted? Very interested!!

I HAVE LOOKED IN THE TECH SECTION AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING! SURE WOULD BE QUICKER TO OPEN THE BACK AND A PLATE WOULD LOOK BETTER THAN TWO PLUGS.
I HAVE A YARD FULL OF BOATS THAT I COULD BE WORKING ON INSTED OF MINE

saw wild things invention real cool cuts the labor WAY down!!

Here is the link to JR Marine.
This is the fix I used on mine last season. Ron was very helpful and the kit worked out and is holding up very well.

I had Ron (Wildthing Taz) re-fit the female part my swivel goes thru in the gimble. My mechanics were FLOORED at how "original/stock" it looked.

Thanks, Ron! You've got all my referrals!!!!!!

Thats the one I new I saw it some where.
Thanks

Great stuff!!! Printing it out as we type!!!! Heading down to the marina and will show them this....hopefuly they will do this instead of the latter.

I DECIDED TO CHANGE IT THE HARD WAY

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL TEAM WORK
