Hi all
been spending most of my time in the restoration/ hull repair section lately and am approaching reassembly and re install of the gimbal housing after stringers, transom and related on my 17’ 1974 Duo Vagabond (same as a Starcraft Capri).
i have sourced lower gimbal bolts and anodes but have not been able to figure out the rubber gaskets between the bolts and gimbal.
anodes came with a similar gasket but I believe they go between the bolt and anode.
i found a picture but can’t seem to find a part number.
any suggestions?

Ayuh,.... I believe you have extra copies of the same rubber washers,.....

The bolt goes through the transom assembly, with the flat washer, 'n nut inside the hull,....
The rubber washer goes under the anode,....

12-32620 use them otherwise you'll have water coming into the boat through the bolt holes. Goes between stud and housing. I also coat on some black lifecalk on top of the rubber gasket.

Thanks luvtofish
I will check out that part #
as for continuity I’m sure the anode will still have continuity through the bolts threads and the stud shaft and it’s contact points.
my biggest concern IS keeping water out 👍
