Saving Old Seagulls

Roy I have a good second hand gearbox all clean and complete and working with pump housing same as you're currently using with the 5 blade prop. Will need repainting though but its all there ready to go. Do you want it? No good to me whatsoever but just so you know this gearbox will work with your ...

The parts bin is becoming thinner, I do see some future in the idea though?

Next I need the power head and a drive shaft down tube.

I will require a water pump body which allows the two down tubes to be parallel, is this possible?

Yes they break & some of the broken bits/dust get semi embedded in the more malleable materials, only to reappear in the future, mixed with oil, home made grinding paste. I wouldn't buy a Seagull that shows signs of bead blasting, take your 2.5:1 box, it's a box with oil seals, where the stainl...

The tiny glass beads are round and soft to the touch, they have no sharp corners, unless you reuse them and some have broken?

It might be as well to check the condition of all of the bronze bushes in this barge pusher lower unit, especially now you've bead blasted them, something I've always thought was the kiss of death to bearing surfaces! If this box needs all new bearings, thrust washers & even just a pinion it's ...

Cast aluminium is less brittle after annealing. And make sure the pinion bush locating screw is doing it's job properly & the crown wheel thrust washer is in place! Thanks on the advice on the locating screw as I was wondering what the spare hole was for? In the Seagull Owners Spares book, circ...

That is odd as I received a copy and as I have just now with a reply to todays post to me.
Please advise receipt of my address.

I have made a discovery, the water pump housing on the motor now is for the larger pump impellor but the screw holes are too far apart for the gear box I have decided to use. The screw hole centers are 3 3/4" on the water pump housing, I need 3 9/16" so right now the search starts for the ...

After the advice given yesterday I now have the correct plastic support on the engine mount bracket for the chrome drive tube, mine is a little broken but it works.

So from the looks of things we're still going for the "bitsa" theme with this are we? The plus gearbox in your pics (correct me if i'm wrong) was normally fitted on square block century type seagulls wasn't it? Not for a 102 but i'm sure it will fit together with very little fuss. Bigger ...

Are you missing the pinion bush as well? I will check in the morning as the leg is in the garage, The bush is in place, looks ok,was there a washer on the lower end of the bush? If the bush is acceptable it will just be the pinion with 12 teeth I am short of, plus what ever washers may be required ?

Seagull never made a 3.5:1 box with a clutch. That prop might read CPC 5 that's for a 4:1 clutched box. If you bought yourself a 102 & a century/40 parts books, it might save you a lot of typing. Will my CPC5 five blade propellor work with the 102 series motor I have built up? There is a clutch...

Seagull 102's were only fitted with 12:48 & 12:30 lower units. Thanks, I had better start counting whats in stock ! I have made a good start, there is a 30 teeth crown wheel here, the prop I have is a five blade and is around eleven inches in diameter and marked CFC5 ( that F looks like a 1 but...
