Don, I noticed that on the lower portion of my transom bracket there is another bracket called the plate assembly(part #89949A1) and it is cracked through. Does this part offer bracket support or is it for corrosion control. It looks be be made of corrosion control material. Do I need to replace this ASAP or can I run it like this for awhile? Thanks
I would recommend replacing it.
It essentially has a "triple function":
-Anode protection
-Lateral support between transom brackets
-Lower side protection for your offshore trim cylinder
