But is it 'tat' if you need it and can get it for 99p?
(Whatever it is!)

Thats a clamp ring that bolts to the back of the bellhousing by the looks. The big O ring is silly money by itself!
Those bolts don't thread into the ring so I'd say the corrosion has got hold and its borderline as to wether it would be watertight.....99p is cheap tho!

You may laugh, but go and have a look at his other items. A broken Rutland wind generator has 28 bids. Now at £93.

If anyone wants to go to the time to take the leg to bits surely they would want a new o ring ??????????????????????
If not, I have a part used anode for this outdrive.
Say 50p + P+P.( or swop for empty crisp packet cash either way)
Only 13 months old, 7 months salt water and 3 fresh water.2 dry.
I reckon it would just about last a month in salt water or maybe 2 in fresh, but then it is Zinc so wouldn't be a lot of use.
Could paint with hammerite and maybe last 5 weeks.
Bargain if you calculate pro rata cost of brand new anode.
Please don't ask why I kept it /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Yep, and your boat won't sink (directly at least) because of a bust wind generator....now that clamp ring@99p.....wonder if "fitting an impossibly cheapo bit off eBay that subsequently caused my boat to sink" is an insured risk...hmm?

With all that other stuff he's selling you'd have thought he knocked off a chandlery. How the heck does someoe collect about six different outboard engine covers?

It looks like he cleared out an old boat/engine repair workshop.

Don't know why he doesn't just sell the boat, rather than dismantling it. I'm sure he'd get a better price.
