Default Damage to my outboard

I keep my boat at a storage place. I get half of the stall and another boat is stored directly behind me. We both have to back in our boats. Well, for the second time, my "stall mate" backed into my boat. Specfically, his raised outdrive hit my lowered outboard and left a couple gouges on my housing, just above the lower unit (although that got scratched too, just not so bad. My motor is an 05 Suzuki DF140. This section of cowling is either fiberglass or some sort of composite. Anyone know where to go to get this fixed? I am also going to check on just replacing that section.

Default Re: Damage to my outboard

Not sure about parts for your motor but rest a piece of plywood with a bike flag nailed to it on your outdrive to take the brunt of the punishment and to tell your neighbor when he is far enough back. Just my BH
