Hello All,
I wonder if anyone could help, I've been given this gear box and prop but I am not familiar with it and wonder which model seagull it came from and what gear ratio it would have, it's direct drive, a round casing I've never seen before and a 4 bladed prop with 100P on it, which I'm not is correct with this gear box, Any help would be great, Thanks.

Same as on my Century 100 1960 ish
3.5:1 I think without checking.
Mine has a five blade prop.
Actually no its a bit different in that it has 3 screws holding the cover on??
Cheers Rolf.

It's from a Century 100, 4:1 ratio, fixed drive, fitted to CP, WP & SP 1966 to 1973.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Yep, I have a '63 CPL just like it - I won't look as good as that when it's finished, unfortunately
