Author	Topic:   Reinstalling outboard badges
AZdave	posted 01-25-2009 01:24 AM ET (US)         I am repainting the cowl of my 1982 150 HP Evinrude outboard. I have removed the badges which were installed with small plastic discs. These were pushed onto pins passing through the cowl from the badges. Does anyone know if these are still available, or should I just glue the badges back on? Thanks, Dave

We got tapped by a Tahoe doing an emergency lane change to avoid rear ending the car in his lane. We actually flipped on our side, and the adjuster is driving over with a check for the Liberty diesel. Good thing we still have the Ram, or I couldn't pull the Outrage. It does lend some perspective to everyday concerns. Dave
