Good place for old outboard parts?

Post by **The Captain** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 1:55 pm

I've got an older Johnson 20HP outboard, that I think from the code is a 1984. J20CRC|M

I'm looking for a scrap pile or parts collection for a tiller handle assembly, mine has developed a crack in one of the two halves, and also the bevel gear is cracked that transfers throttle control into the motor housing

not in a big rush, boat and motor are away, but would like to start the search in advance

any leads appreciated

(spoke to a dealership, part no longer available, but likely anything from that year range from a 15 to 30 or so would have the same parts)

thanks!

'84 aint old!!!!!

Parts for Johnny-Rudes are readily available for MANY sources all the way back to and including the late '50s early '60s range.

I would look at the board sponsor... and since Daner isn't around to plug them, I will... Laurentian Marine. They can usually get what you need!

If you want an online source to get an idea of price, these are the two parts sources that I use consistently;

They have a lot of "off Brand" type parts... this is where I get most of my Eska/Ted Williams/ Sears parts! But they also have OMC/Johnson/Evinrude

This is an excellent source for all marine parts. Find out if your marina is gouging you for parts by going here... never seen better prices... AND they are a Canadian company charging Canadian $.

Good luck!

Thanks Craig, a lot of good resources there!

Old being a relative term, I've used a couple 1950's models once or twice in the past, their vintage almost makes me feel bad about cursing them for not starting!

I'll hunt around, then give Laurentian a call if I come up empty . . .

I got parts for my old (1962 old!) 10hp Seahorse at Lebrun Service Centre on St-Laurent. 613-746-6363. Always seemed to have the part I needed in a bin in the back somewhere, and it never cost me more than 20$.

You know what Yannick, that is really interesting how Lebrun has that stuff kickin around. I mean, great to match (marine) what is not a match (auto).
And I mean this with respect toward you.

They very much have a marine department, with a large inventory of used parts. No disrespect to you Daner, I'm sure Laurentian Marine does great work, but I just want to make sure The Captain knows of all the options out there. Lebrun has always been good to me.

For sure, I agree with you.

Thanks Craig,

mine is a little older though, and instead of the throttle cable, its got a shaft and set of bevel gears

the handle might work, but i need the driving gear also,

haven't had a chance to call round much, but appreciate the help

Orleans Boat world would be another option they are an Evinrude dealer as well depending on where your located. Lorne 's knowledge is next to none in the city

Not to sure about that RIVERKILLER, when I inquired about getting my 1993 Yamaha outboard fixed at OBW. They actually told me to go to Lebrun....which I appreciated and did.

But that was summertime and things were busy...

Yamaha is not made by Evinrude

If you know for sure what you are looking for, I can access a database of dealers who would probably have the part/s you are looking for.
Now is the best time as things are getting kind of quiet.
Daner at Laurentian.
