"Gene - I would recommend star
"Gene - I would recommend starting a new thread for your question rather than add to a very old one to avoid confusion (hopefully). Having said that - Look for a number that starts with 217 (Sears model #), on a plate/tag somewhere. I would suggest looking on the top and sides of the transom clamp first, you might need to turn the head of the motor to one side or the other to see it. Often covered with crud. I have sometimes seen the number on the bottom of the power head pan. Air cooled, but there is a really skinny impeller that cools the exhaust and the bottom of the power head, I'm told. Don't know how critical it is. Check marineengine.com for parts first, but I suspect you will have more luck with one of these links:

P.S. - There were a few Eskas (makers of Ted Williams and others) that had full water cooling, but most are as stated."
