Evinrude servicing and Delta seatbacks!

Hi all,

Thought I’d consult the oracle on here as Google isn’t serving me too well...

Anyone have any recommendations or experience on where best to get Evinrude parts? Looking for a service kit if possible for my ETEC 75s - spark plugs, fuel filters, impellers, thermostats, gear oil, you know the script!

Also does anyone know if Delta are closed for the foreseeable? Have tried phoning them a few times but no joy. Looking for a replacement seat back for my jockey seat, mine has turned into a rotten lump of plywood and foam...

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Looking forward to getting back on the water after the craziness ends!

Mike Vincent at South Coast Marine in Christchurch would be my first port of call for all things Evinrude. If you’re anywhere near Nottingham, Eddy at Beeston Marina is also a top bloke & not a rip off merchant.

Asked one of our mates at Delta and they're shut until the end of May at least, so are the company who do the seats. We've got a couple of the seat backs in the shed but they're not new either
