Volvo Penta 5.0 GL 5.0 GL PEFS 4012014293 Impeller bracket rubber turned to goo

[Rupp]

Guys,
Finally got the time this weekend to de-winterize my boat and enjoy it. When I when to replace my impeller the "triangle" shaped piece of rubber that holds the impeller enclosure in place was a big large glob of goo. This was the messiest crap I've ever had to deal with. Took me two hours to clean it off the impeller enclosure and tools and everywhere else I happened to touch. Anyway. I put the metal bracket back on without the rubber obviously but can this rubber part be replaced or do you have to purchase then entire bracket?

They used the wrong material for a while and some things makes it go away. Replace it and move on.

That was my question. Is it replaceable or do I have to buy the entire metal bracket?
