    Please note: auction is for the
    Kent's Clear View Screen
    only as pictured; there was no motor attached as found.
    Manufacturer Marked:

    This
    Kent's Clear View Screen
    is sold as is and for collectable purposes; and should be checked by a certified technician prior to any return to offshore deployment.
