I have a 1997 5.7 mercury with my 23' maxum boat. The gimbal ring is cracked and I,m wondering if it needs to be replaced or can it be welded?

Re: cracked gimbal ring

It would need disassembled to weld it.... so why not replace it with a used unit? Check ebay, you can find one for about $200. Also I would want to know why/how it cracked in the first place...

Re: cracked gimbal ring

I cracked my Bravo gimbal a few years ago backing off my trailer and right into a rock. I got a brand new one that had been removed and replaced with a heavy duty unit on a go fast boat. I think I paid $800 for it. They list for substantially more than that.
