Outboard ID Help?

[John Gragg]

My wife’s bestie’s dad passed awhile ago. She’s going through the garage and came across this.

I have zero idea what year/make it is. I asked them to inspect for numbers, model tag, etc. They say they aren’t finding anything.

I can clearly see a hint of writing on one of the pics, but I’m not there to fully inspect.

Does anyone recognize this motor?

The only reason I have any interest at all is the color might be close to the Johnson that was some sort of a special duck hunting motor that is sought after?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks,

looks like Chrysler to me

Yes that’s a Chrysler built motor.  The ID plate on those is inside the cowling….in one of the four corners.  Maybe on the front port side or maybe on the back port or starboard side.  INSIDE the cowling and usually totally  encased with dirt and grime.

Nice running motors.  The pic shows the ID plate on my Chrysler built SeaKing 9.6.  The textured cowling in your pics looks exactly like mine.

I think it’s 9.6hp Chrysler-built (but not Chrysler-branded) outboard from the early 1970s or so.  This motor could be a Viking or a Sea King.  There are lots of videos of these motors on Youtube.  It probably requires 24/1, but best to double check.

Any ideas on possible year(s)?

Probably fuel pump?

Maintenance difficulty?

 

Parts?

 

Thx!
