Re: AD2710

Looking good! Which parts will you varnish? Casings, cylinder? Have never used varnish on a seagull but understand it can help protect their finish for quite some time. Well the whole thing actually. When I say varnish it is boiled linseed oil...old fashioned base for all sorts of paints and coatin...

Re: 2023 Bermuda 'Round the Island Seagull Race.

This year we ran a stock 170 with OEM big end cap, yes a gamble but kept to low RPMs and had a good day cruising a much too heavy boat comfortably around 6 knots. This was the revived version of this motor, with a used replacement rod/cap found on eBay: https://saving-old-seagulls.co.uk/phpbb3/view...

In and out of gear without having to rev it up a bit like the other FNR gearbox motors I have. Very smooth running overall. Next up, sea trials... https://saving-old-sea...

Re: 170 rebuild first start - wet!

Never ever been a fan of RTV anywhere...past posts etc.

Just remember that what you wipe off on the outside is in probably more the inside.

Can be problematic...
