No problem, Jim. I was just surprised that nobody mentioned the freeze plug information.
I purchased a nicely restored Mate a short time ago and quickly discovered two problems. The serial number plate was from a Ranger and the freeze plug appears to be from a Sea King Midget based on the numbers. Thanks to the resourcefulness of Doug Penn, it now displays a proper Mate serial number plate on it. Since I traded a couple of motors for it that were not all that expensive to me, I am pleased with it as is. I quickly point out the freeze plug flaw when I talk with others about it. Regardless, I still like it, and actually, that is all that counts in the long run. You have to please yourself.
