Hi there congrats on the new/ old boat. First of all parts are some times
tough to find. You need to know exact year of the boat. Look on EBAY for a
maintenance manual. They are plentiful. Overheat problem is probably the out
drive water pump. Easy fix if you are inclined. Owning an old boat can make
or break you. I have owned several boats and they all have been a hole in
the water to toss money into. But when they run they are an eye catcher.
Have fun.

Hello everyone. My name is Ryan and I found this list while searching the
Internet for information about a Sportsman 155 I recently bought. I'm not
even sure what year it is. I will post a picture of it later. It's in
pretty good condition except for a few things. The Blower/Bilge pump is
froze up and the prop tilt sticks occasionally. The red and blue stripe
down the sides is faded which I'm working on buffing out. The last time we
had it out it overheated. I'm thinking it is the stern drive water pump. I
have no idea what I'm doing so I need to locate a book but I'm mostly
interested in finding parts. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
