Sea King 5HP...any info is appreciated

[Coy]

a sea king 5 hp came with my tinboat. I have not tried starting it yet, and would like to have an owners manual before even messing with it.
Model # KTV 50505 B
Serial #1611044
Type #K505 6116

Do any of you guys have any info on this? I dont even know for sure what year it is. It would be great if someone had an electronic copy of the manual. PLEASE pm me if you do. Once again, any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance...

50:1 oil mix.
If its air cooled use 2-stroke oil for air cooled engines.

Sea King was the Montgomery Ward branded boat motor. Some Sea King motors were made by Chrysler and some by Johnson that I know of, there may have been other companies that made them for Montgomery Ward not sure. I do have a old outboard book that gives alot of information on who made what and parts break downs. I will try to take a look at it and see if I can help you out tonight.

ok sounds good. Thanks alot. I ordered an manual last night from a guy off of ebay. its for the k505 models. on the front of the manual it had a 5.5 hp though. I asked him if this was the saem as mine and he said yes, but the had two different hoods for these motors, but same parts. My decals read 5.0 hp though.. Hope it works, only out $7 if not.

Here's a link to iboats.

Click on the "other outboard brands" and also "Force / Chrysler" outboards. Your outboard may have been made by Chrysler for Montgomery Wards.
There's lots of info archived if you just do a search. Go to advanced search and search "titles" only.

I seem to have misplaced my old outboards book. My wife said she will take a look around tomorrow and I will take a look in my shop. Hope the manual you ordered is the right one.
