Outboard cowling damage

Submitted by ctan1968 on Sat, 2014-07-12 08:17

Hi all,

During last Mondays stormy weather, I had a solid object hit my outboard causing some scratches and gashes. Being fibreglass, can a smash repairer tackle this problem?
Decals can be obtained directly from Yamaha.

Thank you

Chris

Fiberglass or plastic?

I thought the cowlings were plastic, if so a motorcycle repairer who can repair fairing with plastic welding may be able to help.  Will watch the thread with interest because I have a crack in mine as well...

 Nah. Glass. Cheapest way is to just put a cowl cover over the top.
