The issue is time.....

Gimbal rings can break and fail... sometime with disastrous results. You WILL have to get it fixed.

You could do the repair yourself... like Dave R talks about. It will save you some $$ but cost you time and if you aren't as mechanically inclined....

How old is your boat?

I would call around to a couple different Marinas and get some quotes. My BiL is a tech at a local marina (not going to name it) I asked him about it last year for my Donzi... I just need the helmet the rest of my setup is tight. He said to replace the transom assembly was about $3K for a Bravo setup. The transom assembly for a Bravo is $2k. It's an 8-10hr job = approx. $3k.
