Any suggestions for a new outboard cowling cover for a Merc optimax.I'd like gray or black and would like it to fit like a glove and display Merc.Any advise would be appreciated.

There are a number of salvage yards that sell them if you do a search on the net for used parts. Might find one on ebay. You will need to make sure it's one that fits your motor. You can't just throw any cowling on any motor. Be ready for the sticker shock when you do find one, they are usually not cheap.

I think he needs a canvas type weather cover. If so you should be able to get one from your local Merc dealer. If not, ebay or have one made at a local upholstery shop.................Al
