Mercury Transducer Bracket
Mercury made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the transducer bracket is a regular on our bench. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Transducer brackets snap at the transom mount. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — twenty years on, there's no margin left in it.
How we reproduce them
These take a proper modelling pass: we measure the mounting points and clip geometry from your part, reinforce the known failure point, and verify fit with a test print before the final run.
We print these in PA-CF. Carbon-fibre nylon is the strongest material we run — it goes into parts that carry real load, where a lesser plastic would be the next thing to break.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
