Is it possible / easy to get Stern parts if you don't have a relationship with a local distributor? I've been pondering getting a Stern for awhile now, but since I'm in AK and would be purchasing off the secondary market, I wonder how easy it would be to get repair parts and/or the time of day from Stern or an outside distributor.
Any or you rural or Canadian guys have a problem with this since you're in a similar situation?
