I am a first time boat owner but concider myself mechanically inclined from working on my cars, lawnmowers, etc. I recently bought a project boat (a 1970 fleetcraft with a 45 hp Chysler with newer lower unit) with the hope of fixing it up so my son and I can do some fishing. I seem to be having problems finding parts for the motor. Right now I am looking for a thermostat and who knows what else in the future. After reading through this forum there seems to be people with similar problems. Is there a company that I can contact for parts? The other alternative is to just find another motor.
