Reply To: 1962 Sea King 5hp Owners Manual

Thank you very much for your help.
This particular outboard is a bit of a puzzle to me. I have refurbished dozens and dozens of the OMC mid 50’s outboards so I was casual when approaching this 62 Sea King. (It matches my 62 Sea King boat.)
What is puzzling to me is the fact that you cannot remove the plugs with the powerhead installed. One cannot even remove the plug boots, let alone remove the plugs. Additionally, the high speed and low speed control mechanisms (that attach to the actual needles) cannot be removed unless the power head is tilted prior to lifting it up.
Maybe that I am missing something but those plug boot will not clear the lower cowl.
Thanks again for your help.
