Where to get motor cover gasket

[todd281]

I am working on a 1973 Evinrude 4306 , four horse, outboard and would like to know where to get the gasket/ weatherstrip that goes under the fiberglass motor cover. [part # 206144] or something that would work in its stead. I looked at Mc-master but they will only sell in 25 foot lengths, I need about two. I am not sure what they have would be the right size and shape. Any ideas /pointers would be appreciated . Thanks

look into some automotive door trims maybe you can fit something on more cheaply…

some use fuel hose and split it lenght wise then glue it on with a strong adhesive like GOOP

Also try an ad on classified here with a photo. Maybe someone will remove from a parts motor.

As Crosbyman suggests….consider trying fuel line split lengthwise. I just did a 10HP Sportwin and used 3/16″ ID fuel line…..took a razor blade and cut it….and carefully pushed it on the lip. Worked VERY well. Certainly not “factry” but it sure serves it’s purpose in keeping the cowling from rattling around. A cheap fix until something better comes along?

I’ve used auto engine vacuum hose split open.

I’m in the same boat, looking for the gasket for ’67 18 Evinrude. McMaster sells little sample packs of 4 or six pieces, for very cheap money. I bought a sample pack but nothing works for me, yet.

Long live American manufacturing!
