Thanks Artie,
Have you been out to Buckeye lately?

We've been out there quite a bit this summer. We should be there this coming weekend, have you guys been out at all?

Hey, have a great time, this weekend I'll be working on you know what. Its fun but its been slow. Good thing I dont have to make a living workin on boats

Anyone out there know where I can get the top rear engine cowl support locking pin assembly? I need one for the new mercury 2.5 280 offshore that I'm adding to my Skater. They dont come with them from the factory, but without them the engine cowlings have been known to work loose in rough conditions and fly off $$$$. :eek:

I seen a few on scream and fly for sale

davidmercury 08-30-2011 08:11 PM

on scream and fly, I couldnt find any for sale for the 2.5 280 with the alien style cowling. Every one of them so far has been for the 260. Diamond sells them but are on B.O. right now

Did you try JSRE?

Also looks like Waterboy has found the solution-

The solution came AFTER the problem! Im putting the older 2.5 rubber hold downs on mine or fabricating some JC Whitney cheapo hood pins..
