Need a replacement zerk for my 1988 alpha setup.I ask if anyone has purchased one because I have already tried to get one in just about every place that will be recommended.I thought it would be a simple part to get.Even tried local boneyard only to find they have closed and moved.I have heard all the excuses...we dont stock them,we are out of them,cant get them,We can order them for you(so i ordered it and it never showed up).Dont want an automotive type because of a stray current issue in our marina.Cant take the chance of a different type of metal .Gonna try an outboard supply house next.Cant believe this.Anyone....????

Your kidding right?
they dont make cast iron grease fittings. stray current is NOT an issue inside a dry bellow anyway.

The search works fine. Just look down past the math solution.

the Zerk is for the trim.One on each side of the bellhousing.Same as the one for the gimble bearing.
