Removing silent choice block off plate #?
 
anyone know the merc part # for the block off plate? the choice has to go!

No But............
 
It's quite simple to make your own too.

The plate is probably 2" X 3"

Pull you silent choice off trace your shape of
your mounting flange along with drilling the
4 holes into a piece of 1/8 plate.

And mount it. When you pull the (Y) pipe
it has an O-ring, but I still add a little silicon
for flavor. Can't get to it once you engines
are back in.

Good Luck! If you have access to some
stainless 1/8 plate you'll have no corrosion.

Had good luck

Can you remove Silent Choice while the motors are still in the boat?? Or do they have to be pulled???

Motors at least have to be moved forward to gain access to the bullhorn bolts.

The bolts that Merc supplies with the kit for the plate have extra thick washers. You can buy the bolt kit separate.

Let me look, I may have a blockoff plate laying around that you can have.

If you are not concerned about weight why does the Y pipe have to be removed? I have seen several boats with caps on the tops of the Y pipes with a stainless clamp. It sure seems easier then pulling motors. Just a thought.
