Hey I was wondering if the cowl on motors can be repaired or if anyone knows of anyone that does. I had something hit my one motor while trailoring. Thanks for the advice

Depends on the damage , it might be cheaper to get one from ebay , i believe they are made of fiberglass , and can be repaired . Just a matter of how much damage and repair to buy ratio of funds. And u can prob bring to any body shop or fiberglass repair shop dont know any off hand" uht oh better get macco"

easy fixes, take it to a body shop that does fiberglass work. Mercury paint code is pure black to match, then get stickers off ebay. Dont bother w epoxy or plastic welds if you want it to hold up long term, they wills skin it strong on the inside and a light skin on outside, sand and paint
