Hi guys, I'm ready to freak out here. Today as I was going up the river I hit a rock or something and my prop cap came off. I didn't notice until I put the engine in neutral then the pin fell out. It appears that this part omc 0303365 is now obsolete. And there is only one place left I can find that has it but they want a ridiculous amount of money for it.
How imperative is this part? Could I just put a new pin in and cover the holes with duct tape, a rubber O-ring/grommet or something?
Is its only purpose the keep that pin in place or does it do something else like protect the nut from water?
Thanks
