I could have taken it to a machine shop for a helicoil, but it was cheaper to get this transom assembly. I got the whole thing for $50 from the same guy who sold me the SEI drive. It is nice to live in Florida close to boat boneyards. Before I took it home, we removed the cable and ensured the threads were good. It was in salt water, but is in good shape. I only needed the bell housing, and the hinge pins were broken and STUCK. The pin socket would not turn the pins since there was no grip. The gimbal ring was cracked so it was cut to remove the housing, and the metal around the pins was heated with a torch. A pair of vicegrips on the pins, along with the socket was enough to get them out. I could have drilled the bolts and used an extractor tool, but this was quicker. All the threads were chased with a tap, and the housing was installed. Once installed, the shift cable was replaced, and this glitch is finished.
