If you don't have access to a sand blaster . . . a pressure washer and a hammer will do pretty well removing the rust flakes.

Yeah the only boating accident Ive ever been in and a near fatal one at that. It broke WOT and I almost lost a friend of mine when he flew outta the boat and went underneath. He BARELY missed the prop too. I had to jump in and get him or he wouldnt be here today. Think about it, its not gonna break unless its under power....If its even questionable REPLACE IT!!!! *:o

Stinky, where does one find such an item? I looked on Ebay and also did a search on Iboats.com and nothing >:( I am tempted to see if a good welder can make one up out of stainless. :-/

I found the part locally at an outboard repair shop. however it was rusted so severely that the ''part'' was the whole midsection of the motor because it couldn't be pulled apart without breaking. I hope yours isn't so bad...it was a major job....pulled powerhead...foot...dismantle everything and put back together.
