Where to buy outboard parts?

[Victor]

Recently I've noticed that gear oil is leaking from the prop area, upon close inspection I found some fishing line around my prop. I then proceeded to remove the prop and found that the line actually got quite deep in there. I have removed all the line but I know all the seals needs to be replaced.

 

Where should I go to buy these parts? I'm considering to replace the impeller as well while I'm at it. My motor is a 1986 Evinrude 20hp (E20TECDC).

 

Prior to this I have only changed the plugs/gear oil so I have no experience what so ever ... is there anything I should keep in mind/pay attention to? I plan to read up on some online tutorials and watch lots of youtube videos of this sort of repair to learn how to do it.

 

Thanks!

You probably should replace the impellor as well. You'll have the lower unit apart anyways. I don't think it would be that difficult especially since you change your own oil and do basic maintenance yourelf.

For Evinrude parts in the T.O. area check out:

Hmmmmm...Carp fishing from a boat...interesting concept...

 

Let's see, I could put my bank stix in the oar locks...

 

It would sure make chumming ground bait a cinch...
