In my past, The yard or prop/shaft shop provided the pillow bearings for new work. I've gone to bearing shops with the core and matched up...
I started to think about this and did not like what came to mind. Stainless steel has a fault; Crevice Corrosion. Filling with epoxy was a...
Like a O ring seal on the stats edge? Were these OEM MAN stats?
I'm sure it looks good, but you can not tell by eye if 50 GPM or 150 GPM is flowing.
And look thru it well..
Less zinc & zinc waste (zinc flakes, mud, pieces) to block the small HE tubes at the coolers inlet. Should be no problems on less zinc. No...

Your also looking at a 15+ year old, cheap & DIY design. If it helps you feel better, That connect is no longer used.
Those SeaTalk semi flat connects usually stay in pretty well if installed correctly. Strain relief is the #1 issue. Lack of dips in the wires is...
I'm off for a boat ride. Back later today.
