Cousin Dave has a 1947 Evinrude "Sportsman" 2 h.p. and we want to get it going again. Does anyone have parts location info for the older engines? I want to start with the impellor before anything...Thanks

I would try sea-way marine in seattle. You can get their contact info from their website. Great guys to deal with too.

Re: Need help locating vintage parts

go to the Antique Outboard Club' website, www.aomci.org They have a free classified ads page where you can post your wants. They also have a Links page where you can find a bunch of vendors for old parts.

The best thing you can get is a parts list, so you can ask for the part by number. I'll betcha that if you ask for a parts list on their Ask-A-Member forum, somebody will post it for you. Give the model number when you do.

Finally, join the club and attend some local meets. Warning, it can be addictive and you may wind up with a garage full of old motors before your wife leaves you.
