I got on the Iboat forum to see if someone could help me out but so far haven't got a reply. I am looking for some rubber bushings that go into the lifts for the engine as they are all shot. It looks like the unit came with the engine. It is a manual pump system Dole SP500, and it works okay just need the bushings. So could anyone point me to a spot that might carry these bushings.

Hope someone can direct me to a good spot.
Thanks

Try these 2 sites:

http://screamandfly.com/

http://www.eastcoastmarineservice.com/m ... sories.htm

The first may have links/message board,the second may have parts or advice where to look.

Have you tried a dealer?If those are factory trim cylinders,they used them for lots of years & should still stock the bushings.Mercury still has tilt pins for my 1955 mark25!!!!

Are you going to Guntersville? If so,which boat will you be bringing?

Thanks for the leads there. I think I finally found them on Iboats. They sure have a hard way of finding things on that store site. Anyway I ordered them and from the photo look like the right ones.

Yes I am planning on attending the meeting down there. I am planning on bringing the Super Duper Spartan I am building right now. Just done some touch up today on spots so will be painting it this coming week. It will not be perfect but I do want to get it in the drink ans see how it preforms. Seems like it has been for ever since I started on it but it is coming along pretty good now.
