I assume boats must have salvage yards just like cars where you can
buy used part. Whenever I try to look up boat salvage I end up with
companies that recover boats. Where would I look to find companies
from whom I can purchase used parts for my boat?

A google of "used boat parts" seems to bring up a lot of hits that
look likely to be what you want.

Ya know, junk yards used to be great cultural experiences, ther'd be a
bunch guys with no teeth and tatoos on their knuckles like they'd been
in prison. You'd go out in the yard covered with kudzu engulfing the
cars wiping the sweat off while you searched for that '56 for F100
thats s'posed to be here somewhere. Along the way, you'd find all
sorts of other cool stuff. All sorts of vehicle fluids dripping a
toxic goo into the ground water, a wonderful place.
Went to a junkyard with my neighbor recently. They charged admission
like it was a damn theme park, a buck a head to see the wrecks. They
were actually organized in rows, each one propped up on old rims offa
the ground for access, DANG. They had an impermeable membrane
covering the whole place so the crud would never touch the ground. It
just wasnt fun like it used o be.
In an old style yard, I was looking for brake drums for my '56 F100
and was told that there's a buncha rims in that old Chevy truk out
yonder. Sure enough, it was fileld with em so much that the old
trucks frame had collapsed under the weight. Even the cab was filled
with em. I stuck my head in the cab window sorting through em
comparing to my bad one, forgot about yellow jackets making nests in
places like that. Suddenly, the damn things are covering me so I go
running like hell. Abouit the time I out ran the yellow jackets,
ROWR bark, bark, growl THE DAMNED JUNKYARD DOG IS CHASING ME. I
barely managed to get out the fence ahead of him with the toothless
rednecks running the place laughing themselves silly.

Yeah, same here in Atlanta, they have U-Pull-It places. Hell, where I
grew up, I knew the people and would go there and get my own stuff.
Like you say, the ground was always black, the place smelled like old
oil, you'd go there on a Saturday morning and have some fun with the
other locals while getting the stuff you needed!

I learned a lot about cars at such yards. I think they charge the $1
for liability reasons. The $1 acknowledges that you are paying to be
there. In anycase, the best part of those types of yards is you pull
everything yourself. So before I undertook an extensive disassembly of
anything on my car I would go to such a yard and "practice" on their
cars. I spent a lot of days of my teen years just walking around such
yards with a couple of tools in my hand.
