Hi guys, I began my career as a Chrysler dealer in 1977,and sold them until about 1984 when they became Force. I sold Force motors until the end in 1998. I have been a Mercury dealer ever since. I still have soft spot for Chrysler outboards. They never seem to get the respect they deserve. I am the only dealer in my area, (south Alabama) that will work on them. They are so old now that I will fool with the few that are in nice condition.I have 2 on my lot now.
One is a 1772 70hp, the other is a 1982 115 hp . To me Chryslers are a nice trip down memory lane, Thanks ! Bill Steele Creek Marine inc.

If you want a manual you can find this one on Ebay: Old Outboard Motor -Service Manual By Clymer= it covers motors under 30 hp, from 1955 to 1969

quote cajuncook1:

I have a chrysler 9.6hp the lower unit is filled with grease,is this ok.

We are lucky to have a very active member who enjoys making videos and repairing old Chrysler outboards and he is known as Chrysleroutboarddude. He has a You Tube channel and has many many videos of old outboards on boats. Ben, is very very knowledgeable regarding Chrysler outboards and is an excellent resource for repairs and finding parts. If, I am not mistaken, Mercury eventually bought out Chrysler and still sells a lot replacement parts.

Here is a list of you tube videos Ben has put together to help others regarding the Chrysler outboards of the mid late sixties and possible early 70’s. The video is of Chrysler 5hp, but is very very similar to the 6hp, 9.2hp and 9.6hp outboards.

I purchased a chrysler 9.6 of a guy.Runs great went to check it and the lower unit was filled with grease.is that ok.Why would they do that.

Do you know what year make or model number of your Chrysler 9.6hp. I have some information from a 1966/67 Chrysler 6 and 9.2hp manual. Yes, they did put grease in under 10hp about that time period. Please verify your model and year motor so it can be clarified.

Yes the 9.6hp Sea King uses oil in the gear case. Hear is a seal kit for it. http://www.marineengine.com/newparts/pa … SIE18-2638

Careful on terminology here – some people and companies use "gear oil" and "grease" inter-changably, as the article a few posts up appears to do, as it talks about changing grease , then using 90 w gear oil but then talks about draining grease. I think of "grease" as the thick stuff, like wheel bearing grease, that will not drain out if the drain screw is removed, which is common in non-gearshift motors.
