Question : Gamefisher 5HP outboard engine
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 |

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, Chad |

THANKS, Gene If this is your engine...: http://tinyurl.com/55fn8 & http://tinyurl.com/4k7ts Then it is a Merc, and the Sears parts website will "spoon-feed" you the Mercury parts numbers - they will show in red in the "shopping cart". For example: FLYWHEEL 819363T1 (687097) 225587501 $ 205.49 GEAR HOUSING 820090A3 (C341054) 225587501 $ 753.99 SHORT BLOCK 819854A5 (C702010) 225587501 $ 1223.49 OWNER MANUAL OB4422 225587501 $ 17.49 Are the prices from Sears....! The first set of numbers is the Merc part #. Good Luck! Rob |
