Saving Old Seagulls

The drive shaft was cyanide hardened at both ends to prevent twisting & locking in place happening.
Though British Seagull or John might be able to lay their hands on a longer one that you could cut to size, if the ends of the one you find have been hardened, you'll have to cut with an angle ...

I chose for the larger transom because it was a nice one all in bronze and because I also have 102 that I can hang on it.

The propeller sits well below the keel as you can see on the older photo

Maybe I will ...

No, haven't tried it yet. There is a little bit of work to be done before it can run.
It is exactly the type of motor that I like at the back of my clinker ply dinghy

An update on my clutch project. I managed to get all the things need for a conversion and assembled the lot. I actually haven't run it yet but everything seems to work well. Her a few pics.

What is actually best: heating the aluminium of the gearbox around the bolt of the bolt itself by applying heat to the head of the bolt and by conduction the threaded part bolt itself? I would say heating up the aluminium casting would be more effective because the aluminium expands more than steel ...

Thanks, these are clear instructions. I ordered few new bits and will try once more the impact driver after another good heating. If that still doesn't work I will follow the directions given.

I'm trying to remove the gearbox from a 40+ . The outer bolt on top of the waterpump was easy to unscrew, but the one between the drive shaft casing and the exhaust refuses to cooperate. I tried it with heating the gearbox where the thread is several times, loads of WD40, hitting it with an impact ...

I thought that the clutched gearbox of the Century and the 40 plus had the same gearboxes and have ratio of 1:3.5. Such as this one:

I want to convert my SJP long shaft to a clutched version of it. Maintaining the original Seagull looks, but with a little bit more convenience. I understand that it is mainly a matter of replacing the gearbox assembly. So I'm in need of :
- gearbox 1:3.5 of the clutched type in good condition ...

Nobody interested in this beautiful brand new drive shaft tube? Price is negotiable.

I'm still working on the restauration of my 102. Now I'm facing a dilemma. I can't get the end cap off. I would like to see if everything is ok inside. I tried a bit of hammering on the prop shaft but that doesn't work. Peeking through the oil filling hole shows no problems, everything is running ...

Ok, an inboard. Thanks for this quick reply.

Browsing the internet I found a picture with a glimpse of an interesting but for me unknown outboard. It says British Motor Boat ??????? Anybody an idea?

Woooaaah! What a beauty!

I'm pretty sure the one below is not oak, tongue in groove yes.
