A friend of mine has pulled his transom plate assembly apart while his engines were out to change the gimbal rings. On one he discovered bad pitting on the surface area that mates against the transom itself.

So anyway, he's looking specifically for the outside portion, but would take a set of both inside and & outside plates if need be. Does anyone know of a set of used plates someone would part with for a fair price and quikly, or where one could look for a used set to buy?....Thanks

Rick, Check Ebay, keyword Mercruiser. There have been several sets on there here lately. Good luck. See ya on the water, soon!
