I came across this interesting model boat on the internet.It was built in 1956 and renovated in 2003.
The model is 72″ in length with a beam of 20″.
The engine is described as a modified British Anzani, presumably a Minor?

Re: What model Seagull cylinder is this?
You have obviously invested quite a lot of time in repairing this block but I’d be very surprised if it will hold water for long if you intend to use this motor. The expansion and contraction of the cracks in the cast iron will inevitably cause cracking in the filler, especially where close to the e...

Re: Removing rust from water jacket
A flexible borescope would enable you to see inside the block if you can find an engineering company that has one.

Re: Fly wheel 'play'
British Seagull Service Sheet No.1 states in paragraph 6 - 'Noticeable crankshaft vertical end play is essential' .

Re: Unrestored 102 SD (Naval?)
Probably best to silver solder the patch,it will then stay put when you do the lead loading.You could patch that tank, perhaps a strip of brass as a 'sticking plaster' suitably soft soldered.

Re: Marston Seagull
A lamentable lack of foresight? Just thought I’d share this sad tale of a Marston with you. About 55 years ago my father owned a clinker built sloop that was kept on a tidal mooring on the River Avon near Bristol. The boat had an inboard Stuart-Turner engine and a Seagull as an auxiliary. On a parti...

Re: British Anzani Minor
I've always wanted one of these but the one on ebay is missing a carburettor and engine cowl. I imagine that spares are not exactly plentiful, particularly the cowl.

There's another one here:-http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110935699801? ... 97.c0.m619
Not 100% complete though.

Re: Clutchless (or should I say clueless?)
The drive shaft should be in one piece.
Does your gearbox still turn freely? There must be a reason for the pinion shaft being rounded, perhaps a gearbox seizure?
For a guide to the gearbox internals have a look at this:- http://www.saving-old-seagulls.co.uk/im ... 000028.jpg

Re: air bleeder screw
This is what you should find if you remove the bleed screw from the cap. My guess is that yours is either missing the spring or it has rusted away. The spring tension obviously prevents the screw from vibrating loose.

Re: 102 blocks access plugs?
I recently modified a cylinder that had rusted and leaking steel core plugs. After removing the old plugs I was able to drill and tap the holes to ¾ BSF and fit brass plugs from a scrap cylinder. As a bonus I was able to remove a surprising amount of rust and scale.

Re: New SD project
I notice that the gearbox on this motor is different to most of the SD gearboxes I’ve seen. Most seem to have oil nipples on the port side yet this one has the oil nipples on the starboard side which is the same as the OP that Skyetoyman is currently restoring. Does this denote a very early gearbox?...

Re: repairing round brass tank
You will need a very large propane torch, similar to the ones used by felt roofers. Brass is a very good heat conductor so you need loads of heat in order to melt the silver solder. Heat the tank from below the end being removed and around the joint until it starts to glow cherry red, the silver sol...
