Engine Cowling Emblems Restoration - Who Does These?

**Gordon02** · 03-29-2023, 07:58 AM

I'm finally getting around to restoring my 1977 Evinrude 140 outboard and one of those task will be to restore the emblems affixed to the engine cover. I wanted to check with you guys before trusting these to just someone I found on the internet. All the tabs are in-place, just need to have the color replaced.

Thanks, Gordon

Lots of decals can be found on eBay. AutoGraphics Ltd in Canada is pretty good too.

I thought they had the big red black blue striped decals.

Thanks for the replies. This is a S model and has my favorite paint/color schemes of all the Evinrude outboards. I do want to fully restore it to original - including the pot metal badges on the cover. The stripes will be decals, but those go on before these emblems are applied. Someone out there can bring these back like new. Gordon

If the particular Decal you are looking for isn't available then a good sticker shop can work from a photo or the actual Cowl.
I've just had an OMC Hustler set made and will get getting a Stinger2 set done.
The problem with the available Stinger Decal sets is they don't have the words "Sprint drive" included.
My Hustler set cost less than 200 bucks
