2005 EFI 200hp Crankcase cover part #

[dmarket]

I'm rebuilding a 2005 2.5L Merc 200 EFI serial # 1B104613 and noticed a hole in my crankcase cover. Here is a pic of the part I am referring to as a crankcase cover...
441330

My current crankcase cover shows model # 969-9078-C-12. I cannot locate this model # anywhere but do see a C-1 and C-3 available on ebay and other sources. I usually have no issues tracking down part #'s but this one has me stumped. If anyone can help me identify the proper part # for my boat, I'd be greatly appreciative! I'm looking to find a used option as a replacement.

thanks for reading

That's the front half of the block. It's not serviced by Mercury as an individual utem, it's only available as a complete replacement block. Any 2.5 5 petal front half will work. The -# is just a revision, it won't affect fitment. Typically the dowel pins are removed when front halves are swapped to allow the mismatched block halves to align themselves.

can't thank you enough for that info!
