Can anyone tell me where or if you can the trim/seal that goes around the bottom of the cowling on a '78 Evin 115? Got a great motor but the seal is trashed.

If you can't get the original style seal from a dealer, try fuel hose, slit down one side with an X-Acto knife blade. Run a bead of rubberized cement the length of the inside of the hose. Then slip the slit side over the lip of the cowling. Voila! Instant seal! Worked great on my Johnson Stinger...
