Bushing for Steering Connection - anyone have a part number?

[Pokeyt]

Does anyone have a part number or source for the nylon inserts that are part of the steering connector? I'm assuming I can figure something out in the small parts bins at a hardware store but a specific part would be helpful.

My boat is an 05 SX230.

@Bruce has 3D printed replacements. Might need to confirm with him they will work with your model.

These are PETG plastic bushings to reduce play in the steering. They are added to the deflector nozzle where the steering rod connects.

Previously I used a set of 5/16 aluminum bushings that I drilled out to fit. This year I switched to this 3D printed design which further reduces the steering play.

Two are needed for installation. The second pair is for future replacement.

This is where the bushings discussion started - Adding bushings to steering deflector nozzle to increase precision (remove slop)

I recommend adding marine grease or silicone grease on all surfaces when you...
