I'm really glad to have found a site like this and that others are willing to share their knowledge of some of these old engines. A friend asked me to help try to start his Buccaneer 5D15B motor which hasn't been run in over 25 years. It is S/N 750526 and I'm trying to learn more about it . From reading other posts I'm guessing it is a 1958 unit and I'd need Champion J6C plugs at 0.030". I've supplied Model and S/N hoping that if I 'm incorrect someone might be able to determine the year from this information. The other thing I'm sure I'll need is a new impeller or whatever rubber parts make up the water pump assembly and hopefully some instructions as to how to access the water pump. I assume I'll need the year to determine the correct parts for the pump if replacement parts are still available. If anyone out there would be willing to help a newbie enter the world of OLD if not antique outboards, I'd greatly appreciate it.
