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.

Will those bushings fit mine?

No, sorry

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.
