5hp Sea King what year

[MurdockJr]

I have a 5hp Sea King Model# GG9002A serial# 65X607229. Want to know what year this motor is and if I can still find a complete lower unit seal kit. Thanks

Its a 56 (65 reversed). Try Twin City Outboards and/or any veteran OMC dealer with a parts dept. If all else fails, post a want ad in the classifieds here: www.aomci.org

It is a 56 built by the Gale devision of OMC<br /> Shares parts with similar E/J motors.<br /> You could try a well established dealer or<br /> www.aomci.org, You might find something at a<br />bearing supply house just specify corrosion<br />resistant.There are folks that dont bother to<br />change the seals and just change the oil more often.I assume their seals arent real bad.

Thanks for the info!!! Hopefully I can get this lower unit to stop leaking because the motor runs excellent.
