Reverse P/N search

[IWELD]

Hello all,

I need some help but first I'll offer an explanation. My father passed away in 2005 due to cancer. He had a boat repair marina and all of the tools and supplies needed in such a buisness. Well, since then all of this has been sitting in the shop. I am trying to sort all of the misc. parts. I was wondering if anyone new of some sort of a reverse parts lookup that would give me the application and description for such things as gaskets, seals, cables, etc...

Thanks in advance

Iweld

Iweld, this probably belongs in the general outboard forum above and the mods may move it. If the part is for Johnson/Evinrude, you can go to this site, click on View Parts Catalogs, do an Advanced search, supply your part number, and all the applicable motors will be found. http://epc.brp.com/login.aspx?Retur...rands=ej&lang=E&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

Thanks BoatBuoy, but the website gives me an error screen when i try to get to the catalog page. I'm more interested in Mercury/Mercruiser right now. I grabbed a box of misc. parts last time I was at Dads old shop to see what I could figure out. Most of them are Merc parts.

Also, we've got I'm guessin around 700+ OEM service manuals for Johnson Evenrude, Yamaha, Mercruiser, OMC, and others. I tried to sell four of them on ebay and ended up selling one for a dollar....not quite fair market value. I'm not intending to make a fortune on this stuff, all sales will go back to his surviving wife. I don't want to just give this stuff away, but I can't stand to see them just sitting on a shelf collectig dust when they could be usefull to someone .

I don't know much about Ebay someone suggested I start an "ebay store"? And put all the parts on there. I'd just like to know what the parts are for so I can list them with application and some descriptions.

Thanks

Sorry you got just a buck for that manual. Try putting the manuals up with a Buy It Now price only, set at just a touch lower than others of the same vintage.

Also, a good, complete title for the auction, a good description, and, above all, a photo of the thing (use a scanner), and you should do just fine.

Same thing with the parts. You can probably make some decent money with that new old stock stuff, but it's a lot of work.

Visit the eBay sellers discussion area on eBay. Ask some questions. Most of the folks there will be glad to help you.
