      I would appreciate your opinions. Is this an accessory transom support or an dealer item for showroom display? Vintage era?

      It is approx. 7 3/4″ width.

        Looks like it was on a engine stand

          Can’t say for that one, but OMC did sell transom protector plates.

            Well I would think that is was a after market plate because I make these Mercury 10 Hurricane transom clamp plates

              Well, you should put it behind your transom clamp pads and see if they  actually fit the holes in the device. I bought one of those mercury ones (not ftom bruce) and it does not fit the transomvlamp pads at all. The only mercury motor it fits is a mark 25.

                Bruce,
                Can you post another picture of that mercury one with a tape measure  showing the distance from center to center of the pads?

                Thanks!

                Scott

                  Bruce,

                  Did you create the original or did you use an original to make a mold that you use to recast them?

                  Whether it is a transom support or an engine stand support my question still stands. Accessory or dealer / factory display item?

                    My guess is that these were never made by or for either mercury marine OR OMC.  I have never seen them in either accessory catalog nor do I believe Carl would have ever knowingly contracted with a vendor/supplier who also was a vendor/supplier to OMC, particularly anything with his name on it.

                    Therefore, I am of the belief they’re aftermarket. Who made them and when would be great to know.

                      I have a Johnson 3 HP transom plate. I heard they were aftermarket same as the factory accessory stands.

                        I cast the Mercury transom plates off a already made plate
