So I recently bought a Yamaha 28hp outboard. It's my first experience with outboards, I'm completely new to boating. I know, I'm mad.
Luckily I have experience working on cars, and I am studying automotive engineering so I have a good understanding on how an engine works. The problem I'm really faced with it finding parts and information
My engine is from the late seventies, and it seems almost impossible to find parts. Tomorrow I'm going to phone up every Yamaha dealer in my country to see what they have but I don't expect much. I managed to find an impeller, anode, thermostat and a few seals and gaskets online but that's as far as it goes.
I haven't started work on the engine yet, but it hasn't run for three years. I'm looking for advice on where to find parts for my engine, and where to find a manual because that's also seems impossible.
