I'm sure you can guess what happened, but I'll throw in a story to go with it.

Me and some buddies had gone down to Panama City to do a little fishing. After the fishing trip, we stopped at lake Eufaula to flush out the salt water. One of my favorite ways of doing this is a few 360's and of course a couple of subs. When returning to the boat dock I was a little surprised when I put it in reverse and it lunged forward and to the left. After loading the boat with the engines off, I realize the my right reverse was somewhere at the bottom of the lake. I haven't been back out since.

I was wondering if anybody on here has a used reverse gate or knows where I can get one. I checked with World of Powersports and it looks like I can order a new gate and base for about $200. I'm just trying to look at all my options.

Does anybody know if you can replace the plastic buckets with the metal ones the Mercs have or with some aftermarket ones?

Thanks for your help,
Beau
