While trolling, with no warning the engine made a loud...

    Springfield bracket

    Looking for a used single engine Springfield bracket. Mine is shot and would like to use factory transom holes. It doesn't have to be in great shape as I may use it for a template or refurb it while I am still using mine. Thanks in advance!!

    shot bracket
