Re: Sea King 35

From the name it seems that it is a 35 horse.<br />They were sold by Montgomery Wards so maybe they can tell you more.

Hello <br />Your 35hp Sea King is a 1960 model. I beliveit was made by OMC. Most parts should be available. If it's in good condition it's worth tuning up. That is if you do your own work. I find these older engines worth more to me as depenable runners than for resale.

Re: Sea King 35

thanks for the year and HP info it would help though if Montgomery ward wasnt out of business. I know that it was made by Gale Products really would like to know how to get decals so that it can be taken back to original

Re: Sea King 35

You might indeed have difficulty getting decals for the Sea King, but you might be able to do without them. If the originals are in good condition, you can carefully mask them for repainting. Carefully feather the masked edges along the decals, and clean up the edging further after painting by wet sanding with 600 grit sandpaper. You can clean up areas inside the letters and numbers with a Q-tip and mineral spirits, alcohol, or lacquer thinner. Be very careful around the decals with solvents, particularly the lacquer thinner -- can damage them quickly.
