Reply To: Elto Lightweight Transom Pad and Screw

[Bob Wight]

I’m no Elto expert, but that typical Elto/Evinrude transom pad needs a screw with a fully round ball like the one shown on Art’s website. I “think” you are right in that someone worked on that screw in the past to fit another type of pad. Here’s the screw Art has listed for the Elto Lightweight:
