Older outboard motor parts

[greatwhite]

Where in Ottawa is a good place to get outboard motor parts for older machines?

If not in a big rush try your local UAP/NAPA store.
Ask to see the marine catalogue.
If in the Canadian warehouse about 3 days.
If in the US warehouse expect about 3 weeks.

A lot of the guys I know deal with Hurst Marina on River road, they have some excellent mechanics and are surprisingly cheap for a 'dealership'.

Just called them I was surprised they won't work on older outboards.

But can they get you the parts ?

You might also call 'Pirate Cove Marine' on River Road....

I will try them Monday. Have to find an Impeller and a fuel pump. The outboard is working but something doesn't seem right. At one point I had hot water coming out then it cooled down and then at one point it also didn't seem to be getting gas correctly. Might have to order form the US and get them sent special delivery need to get them ASAP to take with us for the July 1'st trip. I see how to replace it and can always do it on the trip since I carry all the tools.

I'm having breakfast with a buddy who might now where you can get help, I'll ask him for some names.

What make/model are you having problems with ?

I have a 1974 Mercury (Thunder Bolt Blue) 7.5 out

board. Impeller kit as well as the parts for the fuel

pump. Serial 7076940 (Pretty sure it is the same as

3801458 thru 4691221)

So here is what it was doing a few times it lost prime for no reason and was extremely difficult to start and being an old engine there is potential for an issue with the fuel pump as well a couple of times it didn't pee very well in fact it actually stopped and when it finally started again it was very hot. Considering the parts are probably around 50 bucks in total feel safer having them as the tear down and replacement isn't difficult and is something I can easily do on the road. I actually carry most of the tools need in my tackle box in case I had to ever fix my old Ted Williams.
