New Torqueedo Shaft Bracket

Arpex is equipped with an electric power engine, produced by the German company Torqueedo. The Travel 1003S provides about 3hp, which is just enough to maneuver the boat, and bring it home to the mooring, should the wind fail on the last mile or two.

Torqueedo provides a good quality product, which has never let me down. Also the service is very good. After contacting the client service regarding oxidation on the shaft bracket and the engine mount, they decided to provide a new part. I would like to thank Mr. Reinhard, who has provided an efficient and objective service.

I'm just not sure what to do regarding my product's serial number, which is bonded to the old part. The one which has suffered aluminum corrosion. If I change that part, the engine will not be identified any more. Does someone have a suggestion? What have others done?
