Sea King was Montgomery Ward’s brand of outboard motors put on sale beginning in 1933. Over the years, they were supplied by several outboard manufacturers including OMC (Evinrude and Gale), Thor ⇒ Kiekhaefer ⇒ Mercury, Clinton, Eska and Chrysler ⇒ Force. Some of the early OMC supplied outboard motors were earlier Lockwood-Ash designs. See a complete list of suppliers below under models. Montgomery Ward discontinued Sea King sales in 1986. Prior to Wards introduction of the Sea King brand, Wards sold rowboat motors under their Hiawatha brand which were sourced from Spinaway and after late 1916 by Caille. These motors should not be confused with the later Hiawatha badged outboard motors sold by Gamble-Skogmo.

An apparently unrelated company is now selling new 2 & 4 Stroke Cycle outboard motors from 2.5 hp up to 40 hp under the SeaKing (one word) brand name, however they reference Sea King (two words) several times on their website, implying that their pedigree comes from Ward’s.

Montgomery Ward History

Montgomery Ward founded his mail-order business in 1872 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1926, the company broke with its mail-order-only tradition when it opened its first retail outlet store in Plymouth, Indiana. It continued to operate its catalog business while pursuing an aggressive campaign to build retail outlets in the late 1920s. In 1928, two years after opening its first outlet, it had opened 244 stores. By 1929, it had more than doubled its number of outlets to 531. Its flagship retail store in Chicago was located on Michigan Avenue between Madison and Washington streets. Wards faced many downturns and was restructured several times over the following years.

In the year 2000, Montgomery Ward & Co. filed for bankruptcy and closed it’s doors after 128 years in business. Liquidation was complete by May 2001. After its demise, the familiarity of its brand meant its name, corporate logo, and advertising were considered valuable intangible assets. In 2004, catalog marketer Direct Marketing Services Inc. (DMSI), an Iowa-based direct marketing company, purchased much of the intellectual property assets of the former Wards, including the ‘Montgomery Ward’ and ‘Wards’ trademarks, for an undisclosed amount.

DMSI applied the brand to a new online and catalog-based retailing operation, with no physical stores, headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. DMSI then began operating under the Montgomery Ward branding, and managed to get it up and running in three months. The new firm began operations in June 2004, selling essentially the same categories of products as the former brand, but as a new, smaller catalog.

DMSI’s version of Montgomery Ward was not the same company as the original. The new company did not honor its predecessors’ obligations, such as gift cards and items sold with a lifetime guarantee. David Milgrom, then president of the DMSI-owned firm, said in an interview with David Carpenter of Associated Press: “We’re rebuilding the brand, and we want to do it right.”

In July 2008, DMSI announced it was on the auction block, with sale scheduled for the following month. On August 5, 2008, the catalog retailer Swiss Colony purchased DMSI. Swiss Colony—which changed its name to Colony Brands Inc. on June 1, 2010—announced it would keep the Montgomery Ward catalog division open. The website launched September 10, 2008, with new catalogs mailing in February 2009. A month before the catalog’s launch, Swiss Colony president John Baumann told United Press International the retailer might also resurrect Montgomery Ward’s ‘Signature’ and ‘Powr-Kraft’ brands. Nothing was mentioned about the ‘Sea King’ brand.

General Comments About the Website

FROM Donald: "This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work."

FROM Huey: "I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them?"

FROM Dewey: "Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially."

FROM Louie: "I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle."

FROM Scrooge: "You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug."

FROM Daisy: "I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine."

FROM Scrooge: "After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership."

FROM Editor: "For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks, and we hope that you found this little narrative informative. Your faithful support inspires us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article. Submit any comments via email To: Comments♥EverythingAboutBoats.org (Replace "♥" with "@"). Be sure to include this page's title in the subject line. Also, your corrections, updates, additions and suggestions are welcomed. Please submit them via email To: Editor♥EverythingAboutBoats.org (Replace "♥" with "@"). It has been truly amazing to see what we have been able to accomplished when we've worked together. Thanks to all those that have donated their valuable time and energy, and a special THANK YOU to all that have supported this cause with their membership donations."

Comments About This Particular Page

FROM Mike: I have an old Sea King, model # 74GG9012. It is complete and I plan on restoring it. Can anyone help me in a year of manufacture, HP, etc.? I would greatly appreciate it.

FROM Itstippy: This is a 1948 5HP Gale outboard motor model 2W7. It was made by Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC), the parent company of Evinrude and Johnson outboards. It uses many (but not all) Johnson and Evinrude parts. Gales were made in the old Johnson factory in Galesburg, Illinois. They were sold as Gale motors at private hardware and sporting goods stores that did not have Johnson or Evinrude dealerships. They were also sold as Buccaneer, Sea Bee, Champion, and (like this one) Sea King by Montgomery Wards. The Sea King model number is 84GG014A.
This is a twin-cylinder water-cooled 2-stroke motor. It is way better than the one-cylinder air-cooled outboards made by Eska and sold as Ted Williams or Eska or Golden jet or dozens of other names into the 1980’s. Avoid those things unless they’re really cheap. OMC’s are more powerful for the weight, quieter, cooler, smoother running, and tougher. These old Gale 5HP motors are still highly sought after by duck hunters and fisherman who want a solid, dependable outboard for their boats that they use on small lakes and backwaters. It is ideal for a 12′ rowboat or jon boat. A runner like this will fetch about $200-$300 on eBay, plus shipping, so take care of it. It is NOT old junk.
GAS: I mix the fuel and oil at 24:01. You can mix it at 32:01 if you want it to smoke less, since modern oil is way better than the stuff they sold in 1948. Use a “TCW” (Twin Cylinder Water-cooled) rated two stroke outboard oil. They sell it anywhere. Wal-Mart’s fine. Do NOT use a 50:01 mix or you’ll burn it up. You can use “50:01” oil but don’t mix it at 50:01. This motor has brass bushings, not roller bearings or needle bearings. It needs oil. It will smoke. They do that.
IGNITION: Use Champion J6J or J6C sparkplugs gapped at .030. No other brand will do. No generic “marine” sparkplugs! This motor has old spark plugs in it. They are fine. No reason to replace stuff that works. Under the flywheel are the points, coils, and condensers. Don’t mess with them unless you have a manual. The coils are not as “hot” as newer styles but they last for decades. The points are the same way. This motor has good ones; I spec’d them out. A modern outboard shop would probably scratch their heads looking at this old style setup. If it loses spark you’ll need someone with an old manual and common sense. It’s a good setup, but it’s different than modern ones.
CARBURATOR: This is about the simplest carburetor there is. One jet. No choke. Turn the knob all the way to the left and it depresses a plunger that forces the float down and primes the carb. Let the knob go and it will spring back to its richest setting. As you turn the knob clockwise you set the jet leaner and leaner.
THROTTLE: Duh, it’s a lever on the front of the motor. It opens the throat on the carb and it advances the magneto as you push it from slow to fast. Very simple. All the way to the left grounds the points and shuts the motor off.
GEARBOX: This is a direct drive motor. No neutral or reverse. You start it in gear and go. To go in reverse you turn the whole motor around on its mount. Very simple. The gearbox is currently filled with assembly grease. I had it apart so I was able to pack grease in there. Normally you unscrew the drain plug on that bulge that the propeller shaft comes out of, drain the oil, and refill it with 80W-90W hypoid gear oil. They sell that stuff everywhere, too. There’s a bleeder screw on the other side of the drain plug that you take out to let air in so the oil will drain. You should takes the drain plug out about mid-summer and tip the motor and see if any water comes out. You don’t want water in there to rust the gears. Drain it and fill it with fresh gear oil if there’s water. If nothing comes out and you can see coffee-colored gear grease then there’s no water getting in and the assembly grease is keeping things lubed so just leave it alone. If the assembly lube has melted a bit and the gearbox isn’t full then you can top it off with some hypoid gear oil. Be sure to check the gearbox oil at the middle and end of every season.
WATERPUMP: This motor has a “wobble pump” with a rubber “rotor” attached to the prop shaft instead of the now-common impeller style pump on the driveshaft. Those rubber rotors are hard to find. I dressed the old one up with a file and it pumps water fine. When the motor is running there should be spit coming out of the louvered vent a third of the way down the “leg” on the propeller side. That’s the water outlet. Keep an eye on the outlet and listen to the motor as it runs. If it “bogs down” and starts running slow and then quits then it may be overheating due to bad water circulation. That is the leading cause of death for old outboards. They quit pumping water and people run them anyway and they burn them up. Pay attention to how the motor is running! It is not a lawnmower. To get 5HP out of something this light it needs to be water cooled. Period.
TO OPERATE: Starting instructions are on the transom mount. Basically you open the vent on the gas cap, open the fuel petcock, turn the throttle to Start, prime the carb for 10-20 seconds by turning the carb adjust knob all the way counterclockwise and holding it there, and then leave the carb adjust knob at its rich setting. After the motor is running you slowly move the carb adjust knob clockwise (to lean) until the motor runs at its best. When it starts “sneezing” you’re too lean, turn it back counterclockwise a bit. You’ll find the sweet spot where it runs at its best with the least smoke and most power. When you’re done for the day, close the fuel petcock. I usually leave the gas cap vent open because the gas expands & contracts as the temperature changes. I close it when I’m transporting the motor.
NOTES: I did not change the starter rope. It may last a long time or it may break right away. Bring a screwdriver with you and if the rope breaks you can take the starter recoil off and there’s an emergency pawl underneath to wrap a piece of anchor rope or broken starter rope around and start it to get home. If you hear rattles it’s most likely the cowls or the gas cap. Tighten them. When you take the boat out of the water it should pee out of the little holes in the leg. If it doesn’t, they’re clogged. Poke them clear with a toothpick. To store it for the winter close the fuel petcock and run it until the carb’s out of gas. Mixed gas left in the carb will evaporate and clog the jet & float valve. Enjoy!

FROM Dan G.: “I need a propeller for a 1962 60 horse Sea king outboard. My father bought this boat in 1962 from Montgomery Wards when I was just a year old. The boat and trailer and every part of the original boat is still intact and restored to the day it was bought. I even have the sea king gas tank (restored) and batter holder (that says sea king on it) original Bimini top etc.
My father babied that boat and I now own it and I am passing it on to my son who is going to preserve it like it should be.
It means a lot to me and I will gladly send any pics you want. Videos as well.
I am in need of a prop. I would like an original but I would love it if you could point me to a replacement as well. The prop I have unfortunately was slightly damaged but I believe it can be repaired but it would be nice to have a back up.  Can you help me?
Thank you,” {220626}

FROM Editor: “Dear Dan, as shown on the model tables above, the 1962 60hp Sea King was made by Gale Products, which was at that time the parent company of the Outboard Motor Corporation (OMC) which also produced Johnson, Evinrude plus several other brands of outboard motors along with Gale engines using many of the same components as they were all nearly identical except for badging and a few cosmetic differences. All the V4 60∼90hp OMC models used the same selection of propellers for many years with most being 3 blade aluminum props with a wide variety of pitches depending on the boat size and load. Since these V4 engines were very popular back in the day, propellers can still be found at outboard motor and propeller repair shops around the US and Canada. Any markings on your present prop may help you find an equivalent prop. Call or email the shops in your area, they may have a new prop on a shelf or a good used prop hanging on the wall.” {220627}
