Preloved bravo 3 gimbal ring

Ian

Anyone have or know of a good source for a preloved B3 gimbal ring with a good swivel pin top? Mine can't be rebuilt apparently and a new one is not cheap. Looking at options.

Is yours cracked? The only reason that JR won't rebuild is if it's cracked or extremely corroded. 

Ian

Corroded. I think the best path is to lay out the cash for a new one. No risk. 

Ian

They only have new units, won't sell a rebuild without a good exchange core to use.

hmmm, I bet both of my old transom assemblies have a good gimbal ring on them.  I have B-2s, but I believe it is identical to B-3s.  Definitely nothing wrong with them, as I replaced one due to a transom leak and the other as preventive maintenance.  Although, I'd replace new if it were me.

Ian

Thanks Dream_Inn. I ordered a newbie today.

You saved them?

Well, right now since it's still in the shop, he has all the old parts for me to look at.  I always like to look at the old stuff when it's replaced, just to see how worn out they were.  (although, I went to the boat earlier today and he was replacing the wire harness, so hoping for good news maybe today).
