Wow Mumbles…didn’t realize that you guys are having problems getting OMC parts. I guess it’s coming for us too since BRP is causing a parts problem. At the moment I can buy some OMC parts thru my Donovan distributor….mostly what I can buy from Sierra I can get OEM from Donovan. Back in 1979 when Suzuki and Yamaha started coming into the US market my dad took on Suzuki and OMC didn’t like that one bit. Our motor sales flipped/flopped between 1979 and 1983. In 1983 Evinrude was trying to block the Jap motors from getting a hold and they found a way to take the Evinrude dealership away from us….our Hustler Sport Center sign had a very little bit of flaking paint on it and they said our building wasn’t “conducive” to selling Evinrudes. Luckily I can buy most of the fast moving parts from my distributors both OMC OEM ( at least for now) and the aftermarket. When I need a part that Donovan doesn’t offer then I have to go to a service dealer that is authorized OMC/Merc/Volvo. Then I also have the US internet which I use for my Yamy parts and some OMC stuff…Ebay also is a good place to buy parts…but you Canadians have that shipping problem.
