My 69 Rogue has the V8 210 hp 307(or so) ci. I usually get parts off ebay -
they are cheaper than the dealers but you have to search and wait and the
quality varies. I started accumulating parts several years ago and have most
replacements. Depends on how serious you want to get with your boating! The
engine and stern drive parts are easy to find really. The boat parts are a
challenge but can be found from folks parting out boats on ebay. Find a
parts list on ebay and a repair manual. The mechanics are basic and easy.
BTW - I took the Rogue out last week for a run up the Waccamaw River. It did
fine. Once you get these drives running they are very nice. Tom K.
