I'm looking for a part number on my 1976 Mercruiser MC 1 drive.<br /><br />I need the exhaust block-off plate #.<br /><br />The exhaust mounting on my gimball has (5) 3/8-16 bolts and is oddly shaped. It also has (3) O-rings for sealing.<br /><br />I was given one number: 861776A2 but this is not the plate according to Mercruiser Parts Express.<br />This plate is rectangular, and only has 4 bolts.<br /><br />Anyone have information on this, PLEASE let me know!<br /><br />I'll make one if necessary, but I'd rather buy the original.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />H.
