SAFETY RULES
BOATER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and
safe operation of the boat and safety of its occupants
and general public. It is strongly recommended that
each operator (driver) read and understand this entire
manual before operating the outboard.
Be sure at least one additional person on board is
instructed in the basics of starting and operating the
outboard and boat handling in case the driver is unable
to operate the boat.
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR OUTBOARD
Read this manual carefully. Learn how to operate your
outboard properly. If you have any questions, contact
your nearest Sears Store which sells Gamefisher out-
board motors.
Safety and operating information that is practiced along
with using good common sense can help prevent per-
sonal injury and product damage.
This manual as well as safety labels posted on the out-
board use the following safety alerts to draw your atten-
tion to special safety instructions that should be fol-
lowed.
IMMEDIATE HAZARDS WHICH WILL RESULT IN
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
USING AN OUTBOARD THAT EXCEEDS THE MAXI-
MUM HORSEPOWER LIMIT OF A BOAT CAN:
1. CAUSE LOSS OF BOAT CONTROL, 2. PLACE TOO
MUCH WE|GHT AT THE TRANSOM ALTERING THE
DESIGNED FLOTATION CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE BOAT OR 3. CAUSE THE BOAT TO BREAK
APART PARTICULARLY AROUND THE TRANSOM
AREA. OVERPOWERING A BOAT CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR BOAT DAMAGE.
DO NOT attempt to make repairs or adjustments not
specifically covered in this manual. Should you ever
need technical assistance, please contact your Sears
Service Center.
NEVER OPERATE your motor at full throttle when the
engine is overloaded. This can occur under conditions
when a planing boat is loaded so it does not plane or
when towing another boat.
• Some boats are extremely unstable in the water, even
when secured to a dock. Do not stand erect. Stay as
close as possible to centerline of boat while installing
motor.
• DO NOT store your motor or gasoline where fumes
may reach an open flame and cause a fire.
DRAIN THE GASOLINE from your motor before
transporting your motor inside your car or other
vehicle.

GENERAL INFORMATION
LANYARD STOP SWITCH
1The purpose of the lanyard stop switch is to turn off
the engine ignition whenever the operator (when at-
tached to the lanyard) moves far enough away from the
operator's position to activate the switch.
2The lanyard is a cord usually between 4 and 5 feet in
length when stretched out with an element on one end
made to be inserted into the switch and a metal snap on
the other end for attaching to the operator. It is coiled to
make its at-rest condition as short as possible so as to
minimize the likelihood of the lanyard entanglement
with nearby objects. It is made as long as it is in its
stretched condition to minimize the likelihood of acci-
dental activation should the operator choose to move
around in an area close to the normal operator's posi-
tion. If for any reason it is desired to have a shorter
functional lanyard, this may be accomplished by using
up length in the way the lanyard and clip are attached to
the operator (such as wrapping the lanyard around the
operator's wrist or leg) or by tying a simple knot in the
lanyard.
Read the Safety Warning following before electing to
use or not to use such a switch.
THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES AND DISADVAN-
TAGES OF A LANYARD STOP SWITCH SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED BEFORE ELECTING TO USE, OR NOT
TO USE, SUCH A SWITCH.
ADVANTAGES: THE PURPOSE OF A LANYARD STOP
SWITCH IS TO STOP THE ENGINE IGNITION WHEN-
EVER THE OPERATOR (WHEN ATTACHED TO THE
LANYARD) MOVES FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE
OPERATOR'S POSITION TO ACTIVATE THE
SWITCH. THIS WOULD OCCUR IF THE OPERATOR
FALLS OR MOVES WITHIN THE BOAT ASUFFI-
CIENT DISTANCE FROM THE OPERATOR'S POSI-
TION. THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT IS MOST LIKELY IN
CERTAIN TYPES OF BOATS SUCH AS LOW-SIDED
BASS BOATS, HIGH-PERFORMANCE BOATS AND
LIGHT, SENSITIVE-HANDLING FISHING BOATS
OPERATED BY HAND-TILLER. IT IS ALSO LIKELY AS
A RESULT OF POOR OPERATING PRACTICES SUCH
AS SITTING ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT AT PLAN-
ING SPEEDS, STANDING AT PLANING SPEEDS,
OPERATING AT HIGH SPEEDS IN SHALLOW OR
OBSTACLE-INFESTED WATERS, RELEASING YOUR
GRIP ON A STEERING WHEEL THAT IS PULLING IN
ONE DIRECTION, DRINKING AND DRIVING OR
DARING, HIGH-SPEED BOAT MANEUVERS.
DISADVANTAGES: INADVERTENT ACTIVATION OF
THE SWITCH IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY. THIS COULD
CAUSE ANY, OR ALL, OF THE FOLLOWING POTEN-
TIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS:
1, LOSS OF BALANCE AND FALLING FORWARD OF
UNSTABLE BOAT PASSENGERS- A PARTICULAR
CONCERN IN BOW RIDER TYPE BOATS.
2. LOSS OF POWER AND DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
IN HEAVY SEAS, STRONG CURRENT OR HIGH
WINDS.
3. LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN DOCKING.
IN ADDITION, THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO WHAT
THE LANYARD STOP SWITCH CAN DO. THE BOAT
CAN CONTINUE TO COAST FOR A CONSIDERABLE
DISTANCE DEPENDING ON THE VELOCITY AT
SHUTDOWN AND THE DEGREE OF ANY TURN.
HOWEVER, THE BOAT WILL NOT COMPLETE A
FULL CIRCLE. WHILE THE BOAT IS COASTING, IT
CAN CAUSE INJURY TO ANYONE IN THE BOAT'S
PATH AS SERIOUSLY AS THE BOAT WOULD WHEN
UNDER POWER.
AS WE CANNOT POSSIBLY KNOW OF AND ADVISE
THE BOATING PUBLIC OF ALL CONCEIVABLE
BOAT/MOTOR TYPES AND/OR POOR OPERATING
PRACTICES, THE FINAL DECISION OF WHETHER
TO USE A LANYARD STOP SWITCH RESTS WITH
YOU, THE OWNER/DRIVER.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT OTHER OCCU-
PANTS BE INSTRUCTED ON PROPER STARTING
AND OPERATING PROCEDURES SHOULD THEY BE
REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE OUTBOARD AND
BOAT IN AN EMERGENCY.

INSTALLATION
BOATTRANSOM
TRANSOM TYPE
• Make sure the transom of your boat is designed for
mounting an outboard motor. (Figure 1) The keel
should be tapered from a point about 30" (76.2cm)
ahead of the transom so that it is no more than 1/2"
(1.27cm) thick at the transom.
MOUNTING MOTOR
• Mark the vertical centerline (exact middle) of the
stern of the boat.
• Center the motor on the transom.
IMPORTANT: IF THE MOTOR IS NOT CENTERED ON
THE TRANSOM, THE TORQUE OF THE PROPELLER
WILL TEND TO CAUSE THE BOAT TO RUN OFF
COURSE AND CREATE HARD STEERING AND CON-
TROL.
SOME BOATS ARE UNSTABLE IN THE WATER, EVEN
WHEN SECURED TO A DOCK. DO NOT STAND
ERECT. STAY AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO CENTER-
LINE OF BOAT WHILE INSTALLING MOTOR.
• Raise or lower the motor until the anti-cavitation
plate is 1/2" to 1" below the bottom of the boat.
(Figure 2)
• Tighten stern bracket clamp screws alternately by
hand until tight. (Figure 3)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE WRENCH TO TIGHTEN
CLAMP SCREWS.
REMOVING MOTOR
•To remove the motor from the boat, simply reverse
the installation procedure.
IMPORTANT: WHEN REMOVING, MAINTAIN MOTOR
IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION RESTING ON IT'S SKEG
UNTIL ALL WATER HAS DRAINED FROM THE
MOTOR LEG.

PROPELLER
•Your engine is equipped with a general duty propeller which should give you good all around Operating charac-
teristics on a typical boat for this size engine.
• CJ_eck that motor is not over-revving (RPM too high) or lugging (RPM too low) at wide open throttle. Optional
propellers may be ordered from Sears.

OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
OIL SELECTION
• Use NMMA certified TC-W3 or TC-W II outboard oil.
GASOLINE SELECTION
• 87 pump octane minimum, premium not needed.
•10% ethanol maximum.
•3% methanol maximum.
• Use a major fuel supplier.
IMPORTANT: Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separa-
tion and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine while in stor-
age. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should
be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain
the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See Storage Instructions for additional infor-
mation. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner pro-
ducts in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
FOR A PROPER FUEL MIX
Recommended lubricant and gasoline must be properly
mixed or serious damage will result to the engine.
•Maintain a clean fuel tank.
• Strain fuel through a fine mesh strainer.
• Pour one (1) gallon (38.1 cm) of fresh gasoline into an
empty fuel tank. Add proper amount of outboard mo-
tor oil. Add balance of gasoline, mix thoroughly.
TO PREVENT SPILLING FUEL IN BOAT, REMOVE
PORTABLE FUEL TANK WHEN REFUELING. GASO-
LINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE -- ALWAYS MIX IN
WELL VENTILATED AREA.
• Observe safety rules - mix fuel in awell ventilated
area (preferably outdoors). Avoid sparks and open
flames.
• Repeated use of additive compounds such as
"break-in" oils, "tune-up" compounds, "tonics", "fric-
tion reducing" compounds, etc. is not recommended.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE -- USE 25:1 MIX
I,A CAUTION ]
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE CAN RESULT
BY NOT COMPLYING WITH THE FOLLOWING
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE.
• Mix correct amount of outboard motor oil with each
gallon of gasoline (see gasoline -- oil mixture require-
ments and fuel ratio conversion table).
•Run engine at moderate speed (approximately 1/2
throttle) for ten minutes. Check operation of the
water pump and cooling system. (Refer to "Checking
Water Pump Operation.")
•Advance to full throttle for a few seconds.
•Return to moderate speed for several minutes.
• Repeat steps 2and 3gradually increasing time of full
throttle operation until 5 minutes of full throttle oper-
ation has been reached. This break-in operation will
require approximately one (1) hour running time.
• Use the 25:1 gasoline-oil for an additional two (2)
hours before changing to the 50:1 mixture for normal
use.
•AVOID CONTINUOUS FULL THROTTLE OPERA-
TION FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO (2) HOURS.
• Your outboard motor may now be operated at any
throttle setting desired using the proper fuel ratio as
specified in the gasoline-oil chart.
DISCONNECT FUEL LINE IF MOTOR IS NOT USED
FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE INTO THE
BOAT.
•Observe required maintenance and operating in-
structions.

OPERATION
OPERATING CHECKS
COOLING SYSTEM
Cooling water ispicked up on the side ofthe gear housing
just ahead of the propeller, goes through the powerhead,
and then goes out with the exhaust gases.
IMPORTANT: NEVER RUN MOTOR OUT OF THE WA-
TER, AND NEVER RUN MOTOR UNLESS WATER PUMP
IS WORKING NORMALLY OR OVERHEATING AND MO-
TOR DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
• Check that aspray of water is coming out of the idle
relief holes when the motor is idling. (Figure 18)
/
FIGURE 18
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Avoid striking underwater objects especially in re-
verse, since both the motor and the transom may be
damaged. (Figure 19)
If an object is hit, stop and check for damage.
While operating in reverse or in forward, faster than
trolling speed, engage tilt release/reverse lock.
If you operate in very shallow water, you may plug the
water inlet with mud or debris which will cause your
motor to overheat.
Avoid shallow water. If you must operate in shallow
water or in an area where there are known obstruc-
tions, use shallow water driver" bar (page 10).
If while operating your boat the propeller comes in
contact with fishing line, stop motor. Visually inspect
and remove any line that is wrapped around prop. As
soon as possible, remove engine from water and
check gear housing for water which would indicate a
da_naged seal.

MOTOR SPEED (R.RM.) AND PROPELLER
IMPORTANT:. TO AVOID MOTOR DAMAGE, THE MO-
TOR MUST BE RUNNING IN THE RIGHT OPERATING
RANGE AND THE PROPELLER MUST BE CORRECT FOR
THE BOAT.(SEE SPECIRCATIONS).
•At wide open throttlecheck that motor R.P.M. is within
specifications.
•Ifyour motorseems to be runningwell but is not in the
correct R.RM. range, you may need a propeller with
adifferent pitch (a smaller pitch increases R.P.M.
while a larger pitch decreases R.RM.). Consult your
Sears Store.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
CARBURETOR
NOTE: Adjust the carburetor for better starting and low
speed operation when there are changes in temperature,
humidity or barometric pressure.
The high speed system, which meters fuel from high idle
to wide open throttle, is factory equipped with a jet that is
not adjustable. The jet can be replaced with a jet for high
altitude operation. Consult your Sears Service Center for
installation.
Adjust idle as outlined below:
INITIAL SETTING
NOTE: Do not overtighten
damaged. - needle and seat may be
BEFORE STARTING MOTOR:
•Remove motor cover.
•Tum idle adjustment needle in, clockwise, untilit seats
lightly (Figure 36).
•Back needle out one (1) full turn.
FINAL ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT:. DO NOT ADJUST LEANER THAN NECES-
SARY TO OBTAIN sMooTH IDUNG. IT IS BETI'ER TO
HAVE IDLE SET A U'rTLE RICH THAN TOO LEAN. A LEAN
sE-n'ING CAN CAUSE MOTOR DAMAGE.
With boat tied securely to dock, start motor and run until
fully warmed up.
Set controls to lowest reliable idle in neutral gear posi-
tion.
Tum idle adjustment needle slowly open, counterclock-
wise, until motor loses power and begins to roll due to
an over-rich mixture. Note this position (Figure 37).
Slowly tum needle closed, clockwise, until motor runs
smoothly and beginsto pick upspeed. Continue turning
clockwise until motor pops or stalls due to lean mixture.
Note this position.
Set needle halfway between the two positions.
Repeat, as needed for fine tuning.
THROTTLE STOP
•Your motor isequipped with a throttle stopwhich can be
adjusted for correct idle speed.
o Ifneeded tum the throttlestop adjusting screw (A) to ob-
tt_n approximately an 800 RPM idle when in neutral
gear (Figure 38).

STORAGE
PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
•We recommend that your Sears Service Center pre-
pare your motor for storage during the off season or
for long periods of time.
• The Service Center has the latest tools, materials and
information and can also carry out maintenance as
required.
•If your motor cannot be taken to your Sears Service
Center, follow the steps below to prevent rust and
damage from freezing temperatures.
IMPORTANT: IF GASOLINE MUST BE LEFT IN TANK,
USE A GASOLINE STABILIZER. MIX STABILIZER
ACCORDING TO BOTTLE INSTRUCTIONS DURING
EACH TANK FILL UP TO ASSURE THAT IT WILL BE
PRESENT DURING EACH STORAGE INTERVAL.
• Gasoline stabilizer helps prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during stor-
age. Also, experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol methanol) can
attract moisturewhich leads to separation and forma-
tion of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
• To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Follow
these instructions.
AVOID SPILLING FUEL AND KEEP ALL SOURCES OF
HEAT, FLAME AND SPARKS AWAY WHEN DISCON-
NECTING, HANDLING OR STORING FUEL SYSTEM
COMPONENTS.
• Remove motor cover.
With motor mountedon boat and infresh water, run the
motor until it is thoroughly warmed up.
Place shift lever in neutral and run motor at fast idle
(Figure 39).
O
Disconnect fuel line from bushing on motor (Figure 40).
When motor begins to stall, rapidly inject a rust preven-
tative oil into the carburetor air intake for ten (10) to
twenty (20) seconds until motor stops (Figure 41).
This protects the crankcase with a coating of oil.
•Remove boat and outboard from water.
