Used outboard parts

[lowe1648]

I'm looking for a hood for my 2001 Yamaha 40 jet. I've contacted all of the used parts dealers here in Minnesota and checked ebay . Anyone have any dealers worth checking with?

The dealer wants $850 for a new hood. Found out my 2001 is actually a 97.

if all else fails and you still have the old hood or access to one like it, you could make one. but it seems like if you call around to all the outboard service places someone should have a an old parts motor sitting around.

Check ebay. Lots of used hoods on there. Just search for "Yamaha outboard hood".

I did check eBay. There is one hood but is for a different model 40. I have a 40mjhv which is manual tilt and pull start which limits the used hoods out there.

The one that's listed with the pull start hood is rough shape to say the least. I'll keep an eye on there for awhile. There are some really nice ones that are the right style but no hole for the pull start which might be a option of cutting it out and ordering the rubber gasket.

Yeah but some paint and new stickers and se will look brand new. The price seam cheap to ma as well.

I ended up finding one at Troutt and sons. Ended up ordering my hood, new foot,grill bars,liner,and stainless impeller.
Anyone ever try to figure out some sort of tether to keep from losing your hood? I had mine come off and sink after a pretty good hit last weekend.

If this is a frequent issue, you should glue enough foam to the hood that it floats... just kidding.

If by "tether" you mean "leash", I'd fear the hood flopping around on a tether in an "Oh sheet" moment, at speed, right behind your head while you are at the tiller.

Perhaps you can come up with something that locks or pins the two parts of the hood latch together. Kind of like a safety on a trigger.
