àType 1 Gimbal Plateß
This sale is for 1 Type gimbal plate!
Type 1 plates all have a round needle bearing for the steering shaft arm area not a bushing. Type 1’s run from 1965 to the about the end of 1975.
Plates are all in good useable or excellent condition and the price reflects just that!
This is for what I call a second, not perfect either a bad paint job or minor pitting for $250. I also have firsts/mint condition for $325 in another listing
Type 1 plates are different then anything newer then 1975 because the trim sensors on a type 1 are on the top of the gimbal ring and the newer models the trim sensors are on each side of the ring and the plates have bump outs on the sides for the trim sensors. If you notice these plates are flat where they go over the hinge pins to attach the bell to the ring. These plates are for the bell/ring combo that uses nails to hold slider pins in place to attach the bell to the ring.
This plate will include
1) The water inlet tube with grommet 2 bolts and Grommet cover plate! So damages don’t occur in shipping the tube will not be installed.
2) The 2 studs for the back of the plate that mount above the bearing area. These may or may not be installed.
3) The 2 studs, nuts & washers for the bottom of the plate to mount the hydraulic divider block.
4) A used grease seal is included (good and useable)
I do not include bellows, transom seals and such items as some customers already have bought them but I have them for you at a discounted price.
Once you buy reconditioned parts from me the discounts are as follows, And it is usually recommended to replace the following items as well.
Bellows sets with gimbal bearing, 2 universals and outdrive gasket are $100
Outer transom seal $10
Steering shaft seal $20
Exhaust seal $10
New trim sensors Port and Starboard $75 per set
New shift cable $50
The gimbal bearings are removed and all bellows surfaces are good. I deburr the plates in a deburring machine with soap, water & 1/4'” soft ceramic media to remove algae and loose paint. Every bolt & grease fitting hole I put bolts in to stop the media from getting into the hole so I know all threads are good.
Also check the pictures for your exhaust pattern, it can be 3 or a 5 bolt pattern. I have several of each type so when you buy let me know. You can save the pictures to your computer and zoom in to read the writing. Some of the type 1 styles have the hydraulic lines come out the sides and some out the bottom of the plate. Also some of the type 1’s use just hydraulic rams and some use a combination of hydraulic rams and 6” shocks. There is also 3 hydraulic rams setups for these so the best bet is to call so I can be sure you get the right plate the first time!
95% of my stock come from upstate NY, Ohio, Kansas & Illinois so fresh water but the truth is I have seen more damage from hard fresh water then from salt water.
This is not actual pictures and I do not send actual pictures!
I sell so many parts that trying to keep a posted picture is impossible and if you asked for a picture and paid for it an hour later the part might have already been packed for some one else. So please don’t ask for pictures.
