I agree, the more I look at the pic I think the one from "prestostore" is the right one.

It's only $19, hard to go wrong for that price :)

You got to love some things.

Like the word "Marine". Add that to any part, and you can instantly charge 3 times more money.

Take this thermostat, for example. An automotive thermostat is what, $6? Marine thermostat ==> 3 x $6 = $18. Got to love that. At least if you're the one selling the parts.

Its no wonder I don't buy parts for my boat at a marina or boat specialtly place if I can avoid it. I just hate being robbed.

And times 50 if it's an airplane part. I have buddy with a Cessna that runs a few parts from a John Deere on it, says they are identical parts but much, much cheaper since they aren't certified for an airplane.

Crashing....You're right about airplane parts. They are REALLY expensive. Problem is all the documentation. Might take you 2 minutes to make a part, but the paperwork will take you an hour a piece. Really drives the cost up.

OH, and sorry to be hijacking the thread. Hope its not too distracting.
