 Re: Phowler Extreme 1756
If you can still get the Thompson trim unit i would try that first. It replaced the Baer and a whole lot cheaper than going to the Merc.

 Re: Phowler Extreme 1756
I had a 31 that had the Bear trim that went out and replaced with the Thompson. Think it was around $250 and it worked great. You could replace 3 of those units for what the Merc trim costs. There was even a thread somewhere on the mb forum and a guy tells how to rebuild them if something happens for I think $100. Just depends on what you want to spend.
