Hi,

I saw an ad. for a sea king 3.0 hp outboard. I'm wondering is it harder
to find parts or service for a sea king than for other brands like
Johnson. This is my first boat motor. any comments is welcomed.
thanks.

I have Sea Kings, have rebuilt them, and have a manual.

It depends on the year. There still are some parts out there.
Im Rebuilding a 1981 S.K. 7.5 right now, and I had to dig
around on the web, but "almost" all parts are available.
Ask the guy for the model number, and then look around
on the web to see if parts are abailable. It depends on the
price, and the year really. More than likely its a Chrysler
Force engine. Some years were Ok, some more
problematic (recoil starter problems etc). They do run well.




s.o.
