MY boat has been at the shop since mid November to get the motor mounts replaced but cannot get completed due to Mercury not having any exhaust plates in stock and the expected ship date has been sliding for a while and already showing Jan 30. I'm afraid that this date is going to keep pushing and wonder if Mercury is even manufacturing this piece anymore.
MY engine is a 2012 225hp Pro XS. Serial Number 1B883693 and the exhaust plate is Part #: 835935A17.
I believe this part is the same for several model years and HP motors as is is the adapter plate the power head sits on and the mid section bolts up the the bottom. If anyone knows of anyone with a blown Pro XS motor around this age that they are scraping for parts or a mechanic/shop I could reach out to, please let me know.
Thanks,
Brett
