Hello, I'm new to these forums. I just recently bought a used Montgomery Seaking that I believe is a 15 HP engine for my fishing boat. I wanted to double check with you guys to see if what the seller told me is true. He started the motor up and the lower unit was getting hot and then it dies. He says that it's the water that needs replaced. Does this sound true? Also the serial number is 08X20737. Can someone give me anymore info on the motor like year, hp and mixing ration? The guy told me it was a 4.5 HP but on the tag on the shaft it reads 15 HP. Thanks.
