Anybody have an online source for outboard motor parts? NF

[chris.brock]

Or sites to avoid? Shipping and duty are factors too.

 

I need a rectifier, small, electrical part.

 

Thanks

For a rectifier would a local dealer not suffice? I don't order on line for parts, are they that less expensive than buying Canadian? Down here I find dealers have great, well good, prices on some parts and expensive for something else at the same place and vice versa. They matched the price of my steering cable here for the price on line from the States. It was in stock too. I like picking them up locally as I don't want the boat sitting while it's fishing season waiting for a part. We ordered a crate engine and they said 4 to 6 weeks, that was in June, finally came last Friday. Great price though.

 

PS I think your thread is very fishing related Chris unless you fish from a dock and use the boat for something else, no?

A buddy of mine has found many obscure parts for his old johnson, evinrude, and mercury motors on ebay for a fair price, however he advises not to buy anything from china.

The local dealer is good, I'm just trying to save a little money but I may end up at the dealer in Kinmount.

 

I'm still running with the burnt rectifier, I just have to take the battery out and charge it myself every couple days.

 

Good points as usual Old Iron, thanks.

 

Thanks Dave \/ \/ \/

 

I don't want to put on a part that doesn't fit Klinker, thanks Gallie

http://www.walridge.com has aftermarket rectifier for motorcycle, or find a bike wrecker. Bike rectifier should handle anything an outboard puts out

cyclepartsnation.com has outboard parts but their in the states.

I always search the part number Sierra and stock on Amazon...saved a ton of cash over the years

[ecmilley]
