Wrought structural components, including drive shaft housing components for marine outboard engines are disclosed. The components have a first face, a second face substantially parallel with respect to the first face, and a sidewall. The sidewall includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall each extending from the first face to the second face. The wrought structural components are constructed of a wrought aluminum alloy and are essentially free of draft angles. The alloys may have low silicon content, low copper content, high plane strain fracture toughness, high tensile ductility, and/or a low porosity. The wrought structural components may be prepared by extrusion.
