Hello All,
I wanted to know if there was an alternate replacement part for the transom brackets for the 125HP Force motors?
I finally got the motor running after purchasing the boat, got her in the water and I found out the lower unit was bad the wrong way. I put it in forward and gave a little gas, nothing.. nothing... and then thump! The boat twisted to a side and the mounting bracket broke. I did notice a little corrosion there but I didn't think it would make a huge problem. Good thing, I tested this out in a cove before taking her out into open water. Anyways, now I have a broken left side bracket, if you are looking from the back of the boat towards the front. The right side bracket is still together, but is clearly bent from taking all the stress. I can see the same green cracks and ooze starting to form was on the left bracket before it broke.
I am so close to getting out on the water, but now I need to find replacement brackets.
I wanted to know where a good source to get a replacement brackets that will work with trim n tilt. Any information or direction would be appreciated. I also sourced a new lower unit as well, which seems to have been the cause of the issue, but looks like the bracket was going to break anyways.
