Cracked flywheel flex plate

[Betterthannothin]

My 87 mercury 75hp O/B has a cracked flexplate and I found out that part is discontinued. The last part number is 8722A6. Can anyone help me find one. Thanks!

Others on eBay

Find parts dealers (there are several big ones) on eBay and call them directly.

You don't really need new. That part seldom fails, and is normally considered part of the flywheel assembly. maybe something about the flywheel itself did in the original flex plate, so I'd replace the whole shebang anyway.

hope it helps
