Re: 5 hp sea king 1960
By the way, it is the Gale made motor. Same as a 60s model Johnson or Evinrude. The online parts catalog goes back only to 1968, but even the 68 5 hp is very similar.
What I'm really needing to know is this: Is water supposed to flow through the large cavity in the outer cover, or is this just dead air space when assembled? Mine has been run without this plate and I can't tell just how it is supposed to be.
