Wards/ Chrysler 35hp

[vpbigchair]

I need to know what year range Wards sold the Chrysler based 35 hp outboards. I have a short shaft that no longer has a tag on it. i'm assuming 73 thru 79, but i'm not sure. Here's a pic of the motor.

Re: Wards/ Chrysler 35hp

Chrysler was west bend until 65. My after market service manual lists a 35 chrysler in 66,67.Same manual lists west bend/sea king in 64,65.
no sea king 35 at all.manual covers other brands to 67.My other manual lists chrysler sea king 35s 69-80 Covers other brands to69- 89.The 35 has either a battery or magneto ignition perhaps the Chrysler pros can tell what years.
