If anyone has gear housing case Part No. 41100832 or knows where we can purchase one, please contact me. I know the thruster is discontinued. Hopefully there are some parts laying around out there that can help us out.
I called all over for some parts for mine last summer and found the only place with those I needed was French Creek Marina. They have quite a bit of the discontinued QL parts. Call the owner Wilber Wahl at 315-686-3621, he is very helpful. Good luck Rich
I don't know if it is allowed to post parts source web sites on here, but sorry if not. Try here they show one priced, don't know if it is in stock or not. these are from my search last summer. http://discountvolvopentaparts.com/41100832?filter_name=41100832 hope it is allowed and it helps. Rich
A couple of years ago I was in the same sad condition. Was looking on e-bay and found http://greatlakesskipper.com/ They had a few discontinued units (NIB) and pretty cheap. For obsolete parts, check out here and other shops like Sailors exchange, Sailorman, Boaters resale shops, FlounderPounder and others.
I got one about 3 years ago for a BP 1200 from Bristol Marine (905) 891-3777. I doubt they have any, but you never know.
Thanks for all your advice and help. Have decided to sink the money into a new motor and gear housing instead of something obsolete. At least we'll be able to get parts easier if something goes wrong with the new one!
