Parts for a Sears Gamefisher 5 HP

[jsfinn]

Hello,<br /><br />I have a Sears Gamefisher 5 HP, Model Number 217-586611. <br /><br />A while ago, the skeg on it got broken off (Argh.. ). It's sheard off pretty close to the bottom of the lower unit, so there is no hope in using a "Skeg Guard" or an aftermarket bolt on. Sears stopped selling the Gear Housing Cap (Sears Part Number 26804) which would replace the skeg.<br /><br />Does anyone have any ideas of where to find one? All the marinas I call don't want to talk talk to me about a Gamefisher and the fabrication shop I called wanted $150 to make/weld one on...That seems like a lot of money for this little motor..<br /><br />Thanks for you advice!<br /><br />Josh

You can get it welded for less.The standard price for a skeg welded on an outdrive is about 125$ and that is a lot bigger than the one on a little gamefisher.You should look around more.Charlie

Im pretty sure your motor was built by Eska.I<br />believe the lower unit is very similar to <br />the Clintons.I dont think you will find the part<br />new and used may be hard to find but watch Ebay<br />for parts or parts motors.Im no expert but it would seem maybe you could make a piece out of aluminum and weld it on.I also think most of those<br />motors have a bottom cover on the gearcase you<br />could replace.
