does anyone know if merc is still having trouble with cav plates on these drives
a neighbor says backordered from merc and thats for aluminum thats going to break off anyway.
friend of mine who owns a machine says he can make them from stainless
which should hold up . is there a market for these/ is anyone making them out of stainless yet??

yes my buddies just started coming off last weekend and whacked his prop .. mine are welded..

Merc has a new splash plate assembly. It has 3 bolts instead of one. I lost both of them last year along with my labbed props. Call Merc racing and talk to Randy...920-921-5330

What the hell are those ungangly looking things you guys are slapping on your drives.

What can those "Fred Flinstone" looking attachements bring to your rigs? Man those things are scary...

I had 4 of them come off!!! Merc finally has a fix put the new ones one no problem so far! It amazes me that Merc being a manufacture does not cover there own defects. If your where any other company you would be getting sued let and right.

broke another one of these//
anyone having luck with these yet?

has anyone tryed triming the skag on that lower it is two " longer than stock, i wonder if it would be faster. the imco is no where near as long as the sportmaster?

jonas that boat looks like a blue and silver 35 with 575s and wipple coolers if it is i have been in it a couple of times when it threw the plates!! the welds are not going to work try the new plate merc has out!! good luck james
