Thanks.
A couple of years back, my boat needed the gimbal replaced. In the spirit of "while you're at it", along with the gimbal, replaced the bellows, the impeller, and the 3 (I think) anodes on my Mercury Alpha drive. I can't lay my hands on the receipt, but I think we paid around $1000-1200. Might have had one or two other minor things done at the same time.
