Decals for my 40HP 1985 Evinrude

[Mike Sherwood]

My dear old 1985 40 Evinrude is a silver blue color that was pretty standard I think.<br /><br />The motor, gearbox and overall engine condition is fantastic, except for the PTT which I am trying to bring back to 'as new' working condition.<br /><br />The cowling has been overly exposed to the sun over the years and has faded quite badly and the decal has turned all 'chalky' and even frayed around the edges. Needs to be sanded back gently decals rubbed off and new ones applied after repaint.<br /><br />I want to give it a face lift and restore it back to it original new look.<br /><br />Can anyone advise where I could obtain replacement decals for both sides of the cowling for this old model? I would like to keep it as orginal as possible but if I can get aftermarket decals that look the goods also, that is fine as well.<br /><br />Mike

Have you tried an OMC dealer? Where you are, there's probably one on every corner.<br /><br />Are you getting hazardous duty or combat pay over there?<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty

Not enough of either actually, which naturally outstrips any love for the place / job?<br /><br />Do you know any OMC on line dealers I can check for these decals?
