Aaron from Absolute talked to Robert and mentioned he normally could do the block off plate, but Robert told me it was too gone to do it that way.

You’re having a rough season no doubt.
I would try, worst case you still need a transom assy
Thank you. I’ll check with Robert and see if that’s what absolute was referring to when they talked to him about the block off plate not being possible or if that’s another option.That’s a common problem that there are a few ways to get around it without having to buy a new assembly.
The following offers a few suggestions to consider,
My Bravo pick up is corroded - advice on thru hull/transom
'96 Checkmate Convincor 253 I have the all too common Bravo corrosion in the pick up tube. I think it's time to upgrade to a thru hull or thru transom pick up. What style does everyone recommend? I'm fresh water (north Texas) only but is a strainer a good idea, I'm up for it. Recomendations on...
Or aftermarket if desired,

Always worth a shot right! I’m double checking to find out what was discussed as I was just asked to find a used one
Right. We have paid for an empty storage unit since April at this point and it looks like it’s going to sit empty a little while longer.
Been in your shoes before it sucks but worth it.
Where are you located? Really appreciate the post and offer
I'm in Sunland but , the transom assembly is at our house in Havasu .
Sent you a message
Yep, you are correct. Not sure what I was thinking LOL!
I’m heading out at 6am tomorrow solo to havasu to get the drive assembly to absolute so they can make sure it’s good to go. They weren’t able to look at it tonight.
Drive safe, keep it updated. Hope your weekend is an on the water weekend
Yes, thats correct. I was trying not to inconvenience Lynn or his friends anymore.
I could help if needed. Just let me know.
Thank you guys a lot. Let me contact Lyn to make sure he’s good with this.
I just left a message for Lyn a minute ago. I will text you my number so you have it. I can’t imagine Lyn having an issue with it. Really 5 hours each way. That is really a lot. Let us help out!!!
Really really appreciate it. We weren’t planning on getting to havasu until either Friday morning or Friday night depending on Robert’s work schedule. So I was just going to head out early to take care of it so Robert didn’t have to deal with it. I was hoping by handling it tomorrow myself, it could save our weekend trip. This would save us taking a 2nd truck and we could go back to the original plans.
Happy to help if I can.
Doing something right Dave!
It really is a great website. Hell I found my husband on here through his brother!
It is why I love Havasu. It is how things used to be and how things should be. Let’s all be sure to keep it going. Pay it forward When you are able. Little things go a long way.These types of threads keep me around
People helping people, need more of that in society
You should be proud of the community you've brought together. I know of no other place like it. I moved half way across the country and still have support from inmates.
