SST 120 Midsection Transom Bracket Advice needed

[WayneMac2]

Hi All,

I have a 12 inch mid which I have just removed from my F2 tunnel boat and noticed some play between the transom bracket and the swivel bracket held together by the tilt tube.

My question is there a set of wear bushes over the tilt tube, I cant seem to find any part listing.

I would think a well lubricated firm fit is how its meant to be with bushes or is this a metal on metal ??

If anyone has experience with these please share.


Regards Wayne.

Definitely not an sst, but my 200 has the single ram trim and it moves around a little at the tilt pin, but as soon as any load is on it, me pushing back of motor, it tightens up and doesn’t move at all. I was just gonna leave it be but if any of you guys have a fix I’m down.

I've had lots of 12" mids. The tilt tube is metal to metal. If you look at the parts list there are no bushings.

#5 to pinch the thing together, mine wore the tube out and still was a bit sloppy so we made a new tube and bored the sections for delrin bushings.

Thanks Guys,

Pulled it apart today and yes as per the parts list its metal on metal.

I will discuss with a machinist and see which way is the easiest/best way to go

larger shaft and keep as metal on metal or bush it


Cheers Wayne
