Hi Can anyone advise where I might get some Honda 15hp decals, the only ones I can find are on a USA site and they are $70!!. I want to respray the engine cover and replace the decals.
Easy peasy that one! Do what I have done on the many engines I spray up - take a picture measure the decal and do the artwork on a DTP programme like MS Publisher. Then make a line sketch and put on the dims.
Then save it as a pdf and send it to one of the computer cut vinyl graphics lads on e-bay.
Alternatively - save it as a jpg file - some like that.
The cost of boating is insignificant compared to costs of a young wife and two teenage kids!
Try these in the link below. I have used them a few times for car graphics and if you send them photos and sizes of what you want they will give you a quote. Not expensive and don't seem too bothered with copyright etc as i had some manufactures logo stuff made up no problem in the past.
Or look on eBay under Honda decals, mainly for motorbikes but you could use the Honda logo ones and add the 15 on the rear with normal number decals.
Paint it black and let them guess, makes it less theivable and propels the boat exactly the same, think of it as a cheap security investment.
+1 to that. We got a replacement cowling for our Honda that came as plain white. I also was shocked at the price of new decals so left it plain. It definitely makes it a less attractive theft target. Make it a feature by painting the boat name on it. Oh, and you can also fib to folks about how much power you have....
I found this quite good for theft deterrent after the local scrote tried nicking my dinghy outboard. Ironicaly it wasn't locked when they tried the clamps were just seized, the brand new dinghy was just tied to a cleat, 30 seconds and one figure 8 knot and they would have been off instead of 5 mins struggling and getting spotted. We have some clever crims round here....
