317898 OMC BRACKET

OMC Johnson/Evinrude part 317898 is a metal mounting bracket used to secure transmission assemblies, gearbox housings, or mechanical linkages to the engine block or lower unit frame. Brackets are precision-cast or machined from aluminum or steel and provide rigid support during high-torque operation. Critical for proper gear engagement and smooth power delivery. Corrosion or damage compromises alignment and requires replacement. Common in both OMC Johnson and Evinrude models across different horsepower ratings.
