Evinrude Hood Renovation

[jmcgill89]

I just bought a boat with an 85hp Evinrude. The motor is in great shape with the exception of the weatherstrip (for lack of a better word) around the bottom that seals it to the base. Does anyone out there know where I can find this strip so that I can remove the old and replace it.<br /><br />Just the first of many questions,<br /><br />Joe

It can be ordered at your dealer. Another option could be an automotive truck building company, they have several rubber profiles in their catalogues.

I recently replaced the seal on the cowl on my '76 85hp. I got a new one from my local J/E dealer. Cost was about $25. It looks a whole lot better - well worth the price.

Thanks for the response. If replacing this seal is the only problem I have with my motor, I'll be one lucky guy.....<br /><br />Now, the trick is finding an Evinrude dealer close to me....<br /><br />Joe
