I was gifted an old viking 15hp that hadnt been used in ages. There was fishing line wrapped around the prop, and some rust on the ring. I pulled the drain plug and looks like water was inside the gear case as everything was covered in a milky white grease. I have been trying to find parts for it but not sure what would line up – I have heard old johnson and evinrude may work, but the gear casing seems different on the 18s from that year (at least that I have found). I believe I have seen Rudes/Johns with the same propeller and water pump (144060) but i have lost my searches from last summer and have been unable to locate what i had found again. Can someone point me in the right direction for parts to see if its worth my time? Also how would i pull out the seals and rings on the prop shaft without damaging the retaining rings, and separate the gear case housing (i saw on another outboard diagram that there may be a nut behind the prop seal to separate the 2 halves). I think i would need new prop seal and impeller, cotter pin for prop but not sure what else (shift seal and drive shaft seals?). Ill try and attach a couple of photos. Model is 154601 Eatons Viking 15hp 1965.
Thanks for any help 🙂
