I lost my 2003 Tohatsu 5HP Motor Cowling when trailering my boat. Flew off and can't find it, arggg.

Any suggestions on a website to buy a replacement cheap?

Used or New is ok.

Thanks!

Check boat yards and buy second hand, buying brand new could be expensive for what cowls are...

Happy Boating

Yep, you will want a used one. In fact, at the cost of new, I would suggest going back and retracing your route to see if the original one can be found. As always, year is irrelevant for servicing; model is critical. You probably have an MFS5A (grey) motor. If so, the new cowls are available, but not cheap: 3R4S675600 U/M COVER, MFS4/5/6A-EXT TANK (2000) $165.66 msrp. You will not find a new one for much less -- certainly over $100 no matter what. Once these are sold out, the new-new replacements will cost even more.

If you can't find it by retracing the other half of your route, check out your local Craigslist. If someone else found it they may have listed it. You may get the chance to buy back your own Cowl! Good luck.
