Sea King ID Needed

[scandman]

Hi Gang,<br />I have a 15 hp garage sale Sea King that is model #GG18802A and Serial # 36X868706. Can anyone tell me what year it is? I was also looking for a lead on an impeller for the lower unit. The dealers around here look at me like I'm from another planet when I ask them if they can order this part. Thanks a lot for your help!<br />andy<br />Luck WI

I know its a 55 or newer, but can't pin down the year. These folks will know though, www.aomci.org<br />You should check them out, lots of them up your way and a good bunch to run with.

AJB, welcome to the board. the Antique Outboard Motor site Ask a member will be able to answer the question. I bet you don't have a lot of dealers to choose from up there in Luck. Better to do your own work. Hopefully your Sea King was made by OMC. There is a chapter of AOMCI in Tomahawk that holds a meet every year. I know it is 2 to 3 hours away, but thought I would mention it anyway. Good Luck. One morr thing, There is a place called Twin City Outboards south of the Twin cities. They do work on old outboards, have parts etc. Here is the link<br /> http://www.twincityoutboard.com

Andy,Your motor was made by the Gale Devision of OMC. Parts from evinrude/Johnson of similar years will fit your motor. NAPA auto parts has a 600 page Marine products catalog. <br /> Their number for your impeller is:18-3002.<br />Fits 53-65 E/J motors.They list many other parts that will fit your motor as well. <br /> If the motor has been sitting a long time go through the fuel system from tank to carb check<br />clean and repair all components as required.This is very important because that old gunked up gas will continue to foul things up over and over.<br /> You may have to find a main branch of NAPA<br /> for proper marine parts info.A few people have <br />said some branches dont have a clue.<br />I called a local branch(Syracuse NY)asked for their Marine products catalog.They had it in three days no charge.<br />You should have a service manual.The Seloc manual<br /> 56-70 Evinrude/Johnson Should have the same<br /> info for your motor.<br /> Good luck
