Yamaha Oil tank bracket 232 Gulfstream

[outnabout]

Has anyone replaced the metal brackets that hold the yamaha oil tanks on 232 gulf stream.
Metal brackets completely rusted out
Is there a plastic replacement?

I made a new bottom and welded the tops back on. There isn't a plastic part that I know of but there sould be.

When you repair/get new put washers under the screws to raise the bracket so it stays drier.

Replaced both of mine this season. Mine were completely rusted out on my 96 sailfish. Able to get two used brackets from a outboard repair company. They did not come with the top bracket but I was able to make a strap to hold them in place.

Have seen them for $117.00 at boats.net.
