Saving Old Seagulls

Sorry for the delay in uploading an update, in summary life's been hectic and when time I've had in the garage was wasted trying to get the damn Evinrude I bought running. Desperately don't want it to turn into a money pit, so it's abandoned in the garage whilst I have a re-think. On the plus side ...

Thanks for the replies so far. I spoke to John at SOS yesterday afternoon after my post and ordered a Workshop manual and Parts List. He also outlined the things I need to check before deciding if the engine is worth spending money on. I plan to use the engine on the Wye and Severn so any rebuild ...

Also, could anyone suggest any books/manuals etc as bed time reading? For those that haven't followed the link the engine is a 40 Plus mk2.

Regards - Woody

Hello Everyone

I will post an introduction in another section of the forum, but to cut a long story short I recently bought a 10' Dinghy and subsequent Seagull in order to re-live my youth on the River Cleddau. My bargain purchase can be seen here:
