I just got my 65 Sea King out of the shop an the mechanic said the motor needs new points(don't have threads anymore)an needs a new water pump.He said it would be waste of my money to repair it,any one have different thoughts?Also they dont make gaskets anymore for that motor,since u have to take the heads off to get to the points.Someone please help. |

Totally agree, you can pick up a running used model for about 100 bucks on Ebay. You couldn't even buy the parts for that... |

This is the best place to find out info on old SeaKing motors. Click on link, then select your brand on the left side. You can find out more about your model at this site. Repair manuals are available at this site too...

Try Evinrude or Johnson parts too! They work with this motor.Don't ask shops for SeaKing parts, they;ll look at you crosseyed. Ask for parts from Evinrude and Johnson that are comparable. You may have to take the part in to get a perfect fit. |
