I have a 1989 5HP Sears Gamefisher outboard engine, black in color.
Model number = 225.587501
Serial number = 5069
I "think" this is the same as the Mercury "Force" 5HP made in 1989.
Questions:
1. Is the engine water cooled, or air cooled?
That is, does the impeller cool the engine, or just the shaft?
2. Will the 5HP Mercury Force parts interchange?
3. Where can I go to get low priced parts, like the impeller, etc.?
Sears is outrageously high in price.
Please email me at:
if you have time.
THANKS,
Gene
1--The exhaust is water cooled.
2--Quicksilver parts are oem for gamefisher motors.I am not sure that the
part numbers are the same and do not know of any cross reference if they are
not.
3--You could try using a part number off sears.com/parts then call/search
around to see if price is cheaper.
4--Sears has a 52% mark up on otc parts over what the source charges them.
hope this helps,
