Low water pickup flush seal

Anyone got one these they want rid of Merc part no. 881150Q1

They are a bit dear new, and special order, just wondered if someone had one they don't need anymore.

Stick some tape over the holes, but not black tape, its too easy to forget to remove it.

Not a bad idea. Have you tried it?

Used to do this every time I flushed my Honda 40. That motor had a pickup on either side of the leg, and a third on the bottom of the anti-ventilation plate. The third had to be taped off (actually in the owners manual, as i recall) when using the flushing muffs. A piece of duct tape works (but you do have to remember to take it off when you're done.)
