Mercruiser 3.0 on a '91 Rinker 181 - ISO Torque Coupler

alimbert

My rinker has been sitting at the shop for 6 weeks waiting on a backordered Torque Coupler. Does anyone have any part resources for an affordable replacement? Mercruiser is mum on the subject and I'd like to get my boat back.

That's a long time to wait for a coupler.  I just had one replaced 3 weeks ago, my wait time was a week.  I'm sure there are other places besides Amazon, it is just an example of what popped up on google.

Thanks! I just did the same search with quite a bit of results. But I am also trying to confirm that they are in fact in stock!

I am certain that the shop is wanting to get mercruiser genuine parts - but all of these seem genuine as well.
