Boat engine cracked?

[benguzzardo]

I dont really know how to word this but my cousin gave me a boat with a 75hp chrysler engine. The plastic top part of the engine, which you can take on and off to get to the engine, is cracked. Can you buy a replacement or any way to get it fixed?

You can usually find one on E-bay, might have to keep looking for a few weeks or so before one pops up but they're there quite often. If it a fiberglass cowling you can get a fiberglass repair kit, probably here at Iboats, auot zone, o'rileys, or most any automotive supply store and just glass over the crack on the inside ,by following the instructions in the kit.

Fiberglass it while you look on ebay. It is not critical so you don't have to be an engineer.
