Tilt stopper.

I've got a new Tohatsu 3.5 four stroke which I'm using as an auxiliary and the tilt stopper knob looks like its made of alloy not steel which doesn't look strong enough for all the bouncing about its going to take. Has anyone had a problem with this ? I would have thought a

stainless steel stopper would be more adequate.

Cheers,

kerny.

Mmm Mild steel, Salt water = problems too, I guess its a compromise, SS would be better.

i have 3 year old Tohatsu 3.5 as an auxilliary. Notice weak looking tilt stop when purchased.Always in the up position.as never needed to be used.
Looks a bit bent now but has never failed. (yet).
