Howdy Dazza. <br /><br />Welcome to iboats. <br /><br />I don't find a model 5224 in my reference. The model number should precede the serial number. It is the model number that we need.

Welcome Dazza!<br />I can't seem to find that model/serial number. Would you mind double-checking it?<br />4224 would be a '37 4.7hp, but I don't think that's it. <br />EDIT: Pardon, JB
