There were two 5hp sea kings in 1951. One had a neutral clutch and the other did not. They take different props. The neutral clutch model has the same lower unit (and prop) as a Johnson TN series. You will probably have to settle for used parts on that motor. A few parts are still available new such as ignition parts. Used parts are where you find them.

Good info so far...regardless of which type prop it takes, try these sources:
Any one of the links on the Links page at www.aomci.org
The free Webvertize ads at that site
or watch Schmebay...those motors/parts come up quite often
Those are good little motors, very reliable and if you take care of it your kids will be able to use it...provided there is any dino-juice left in the world then.
