You didn't ask for my advice BUT I'll save you some PAIN & AGONY. = Sears Gamefisher outboards are a PITA to get "maintenance parts" for, need a LOT of "special tools" and SOME of the year-model parts are simply GONE.
Sell it to someone "unsuspecting" & get a 1957-70 Evinrude, Gale or Johnson 2-cylinder of 10HP or larger
and
a copy of CHEAP OUTBOARDS: MAKING AN OLD MOTOR RUN FOREVER, off of amazon.com.
(You can thank me for this advice with "a tall, cold, one" sometime after you've avoided MOANING over how HARD to repair a Sears OB is.)
Fyi, I've been "messing about with" OMC OBs of the 1957-70 period for 40+ years & NO modern OB is as TOUGH, SIMPLE to work on, CHEAP and OVER-engineered as those OB are.
(Fwiwi, with a copy of Max Warzyniak's book, a decent 50.oo OB from a garage sale, about 20.oo worth of wrenches/screwdrivers/hammer, about 100.oo worth of parts/lubricant/soap & water & a modicum of COMMONSENSE you will have a GREAT & Long-lived motor. = You need NOT be a mechanic to work on a 2-cylinder OMC of that vintage.)
NO, I do NOT work for Max and/or Amazon. Instead, I'm one of "Max W's legion of fans/apostles".
yours, satx
