I was given a 5HP Gamefisher outboard last night.Model # 217-585460 I was told that the motor left running fine and soon as it got away from the docks,it wound down and stopped.After it stopped it couldn't be turned.When I got it, it was free and turned easily without a spark plug in it.I am told this is because of an overheated gear case.I can't seem to find a fill or drain plug on the lower unit.Does someone have or will someone post pics of the plugs.Is there a air filter on this model motor?Sears parts diagrams are so fuzzy that I can't tell my _ _ _ from a hole in the ground. :? Has anyone replaced the impeller and housing on one of these?Is it difficult?Thanks in advance.
