Re: [OMC-Boats] OMC-Boats Digest, Vol 14, Issue 4

Finding one is harder than installing one. Make sure you get one that fits
the older pivot caps. I made a barrel out of hardware wire and fiberglass
and would run it in that but that is a real pain - not as nice as the
adapter. Check on ebay or call one of the dealers such as SeaWay in Seattle
or Stone and Sons ( I think in Houston). TK
