I've got the same model. I could get you measurements or whatever you need but I won't be able to relay the info you need until Monday morning. <br /><br />K

If you make it, and yes, you do need it, consider making it from mild steel rod, instead. The aluminum rod they sell in hardware stores doesn't like being bent all that much. I'm positive the original is steel.

tomed01,<br /><br />I don't know where you are posting from,but if it is here in the USA,just go to your local OMC/BOMB dealer and order # 313700,now known as #395448.<br /><br />He'll have a minimum order of 5,so he may make you buy all 5 for a motor that old,but they list for less than $3.00 each.<br /><br />And after sync/link you'll be right on,and not 'in the zone'.<br /><br />DHP

Sorry for draggin my feet. I assume this is the linkage piece you want. The stock piece is made of steel. Good luck<br /><br />
