Re: Identify the stamp on the skeg of SD102??
That’s the stamp used by the ministry inspector. Indicates an original gearbox for sure.

Re: Favorite Tank Paint in your Neck of the Woods
One thing to note re using 2 pack rattle cans. The hardener is highly toxic, and this paint should only be used with a air fed mask in a proper spray booth with extraction.

Re: Something happened
Don't put grease in the lower unit, it will result in little or no lubrication to the gears and pinion bush. If you put 140 grade oil in and fill it to just below the level of the prop shaft it will be fine. It’s a special gearbox grease (00/000) for open and closed gearboxes in industrial use. It’...

These were fitted to the little 40 engines only, so early F, (Only a few known) FV, FVP and LS engines in particular.
