Its an ESK6615A77. Is there another brand that crosses over to my motor? Thanks for the reply and any help you can give me. I've been lurking here for a while and you guys seem like a really good community.
Ebay will be the place to get parts for this motor. This is a 1977 5hp. Eska motor at heart. Probably similar to the Eska 14035B or 14036B. new parts are hard to find. The good news is that the lower units were very reliable and they used the same design in many outboards. If you buy a "parts" lower unit on eBay, stick with 5hp models to improve your chance of matching parts. The lower HP Eskas had smaller propellers. I like to get some parts from eskaman2008 on Ebay.
You might want to join the Eska Outboards Group at Yahoo groups. They have lots of information in their files.
Discount Marine has a list of private label outboards made by Eska. Nearly all the sears, Ted Williams, and many gamefisher outboards are Eskas and I think that Clinton used the same lower unit design and are possibly interchangeable.

Click on "Small Engine Repair Reference Center".

Try Eska or Clinton
That's about all I know to tell you.
Good luck.
