Illusion XS tower bushings


Recommended Posts

I am looking to replace the front and rear bushings in my Illusion XS tower. I see them on Bakes for nearly $100 for the complete set. I'm hoping to avoid those costs. Has anyone ordered these bushings from McMaster Carr? I've searched and seen quite a few threads for the Illusion X towers, but not the Illusion XS. Are these interchangeable?

Thanks

not sure how you would cross reference the part number. should get a number of years out of them so it is a pretty minor expense. I bought a second set as you never know what stock they will have when the boat nears 10 years old.

Igus is the company that manufactures the bushings. KGLI-08 sounds familiar. Google is your friend. The front pivot bushings have part numbers on them and the rears you will have to measure out and find the replacements.

You can order from the IGUS site and they are like 6-7 bucks each.

Mine is an 08 mid 07 build so probably the earliest version of the XS. I do like the spherical bushing. The OP is an 09 like yours so I will defer.

Did anyone find out if these would work for an '09 illusion xs tower? Has anyone machined these bushings and have the dimensions?
