K-Plane Bushing Question

I pulled my 280 K-planes off to get re-powdercoated and had to destroy the single rubber bushing on the rear shaft. I can't seem to find this part online. Did Mercruiser switch to 2 bushings with a spacer like parts 20 and 22 in the pic? I just want to make sure those will fit.

Mine had a rubber hose as a bushing, made new ones out of nylon- easier to take apart at the end of the season..Ken

Ken has it right, the early tabs used a piece of hose. The newer have trim ram style bushings.

My 280's are around 91 vintage, had the rubber bushing the new style bushing don't fit. Its been a few years but I think I made new bushing with fuel line. If I rember the newer bushing fit pin, but eye in ram would have to be drill out.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to find a nylon piece that will work.
