Saving Old Seagulls

Very nice boat and also very nice Seagull!
I'm impressed with the chroming on the exhaust tube and drive tube - have you had them re-chromed or are they original?

Hi all After recently coming across one or two not-as-common Seagull serial prefixes I thought I might see if we could all attempt to compile some sort of record for the not-as-common/ strange prefixes you've found on Seagulls. Recently on eBay, I came across an SJPR which I personally haven't seen ...

Very nice AD you have there Bob!

Can't wait for more pics...
Good score

Hi Emrys Equipment needed: - good fitting screwdriver - blowtorch/ heat source - wd40/ penetrating oil - adjustable spanner All you need to do is heat up the general area of the gearbox where the screws are to remove the end-cap. When you deem it to be hot enough, try unscrewing the screw (if it is ...

by Twinkles031 The only bit I am not 100% happy with at the moment is a small crack in the very top cover in front of the pull start. Will keep my eyes open for a replacement in the future but finding a mint one is going to be a big ask. One of my friends in Mandurah may possibly have one of those ...

Hi all It's been a while since I've even had a look at this 102, with school and whatnot imposing on my usual workshop time. Since the last time TD959G5 has ran, the gearbox lube has congealed/solidified and needs to be cleaned out and replenished. On the weekend I managed to get the gearbox off and...

Nice job Anthony!
Did you get the decals printed yourself?

Nice work B...
Is it still jumping into gear or have you remedied that?

Did you get my email?

Hi Tim

Here in Australia, I have seen a number of Seagulls that have been modified in that way, but the ones I've seen have all been 102 models.
Definitely a home-made job, Seagull never offered an extra-short-shaft model.

Have you had it running yet?

Hello Tim

From your seagull pics it looks like your motor had been 'shortened'!
You might have a perfect compromise with the motor and the boat as a result.

Hi Tim Welcome to the forum! On my old 2.6m inflatable, I have used almost all my seagulls with no troubles. I have used my LLS (Century standard), my 102 (standard) and my 40+ (SJP). Being an Avon RIB, I can't foresee any possible woes you might have with your Silver Century as long as you're not t...

Hi all You may recall I posted a link to a Marston transom bracket on eBay last weekend. Just came across this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seagull-Outboard-motor-petrol-Tank-/361682509033?hash=item5435f51ce9:g:yhMAAOSwMtxXrGaQ I wander if he will advertise the rest of the motor in pieces as well... ...

Hi all

Just came across this as well.

I thought that the bracket had a bit more depth if that makes sense...

Just as a side note, does anyone know when the Sachs Mac Wankel rotary outboards were made? I know they are from the same sort of period as those Japanese motors but not exactly sure if it was in fact before or after the Yanmar...

B, you've got a nice original one don't you?
