Saving Old Seagulls

70 euros = ~63 British Pounds 70 euros = ~$101 Australian Dollars It depends... what would you use it for if you were to purchase it? For a running motor for your boat or for parts? Not sure if my eyes are playing tricks but to me that gearbox looks a bit small... from a 40 maybe? It's got a Wipac i...

Jon You mention that you're leaning toward using a 40+ clutched box on this motor. If your son is looking for more speed, it may be an idea to use a different gearbox. I'm not an expert on gear ratios etc. myself but I do know that there are some gearboxes that will perform better than others in spe...

Jon,

Recently here down under I came across a July 1968 102 motor for sale which had the 3-bladed cloverleaf prop fitted. According to the owner, it is exactly original...

by headdownarseup I'd be interested to know when you note the change in the 40 series gearboxes from a "holed" water inlet to a slotted" inlet. My best guess is around 57. Am I close? Jon, From my data collection, it seems that SJP and SJM motors under serial #10,000 have the holed w...

by headdownarseup The tiller actually appears to be correct for this motor. As does the grip and throttle lever (despite being at a weird angle) Most, if not all of the T series 102's i have on record to date have this type of tiller arrangement so there's nothing too out of the ordinary here. Jon,...

I think the seller may have misread/misinterpreted what is on SOS with regards to the text on the rope sheave... :roll: :lol: According to my SJP & SJM data, the plastic fuel cap came on motors post-1960ish, so I would hazard a guess that the fuel cap is wrong... fuel petcock isn't original as s...

by Collector Inspector » Wed Oct 12, 2016 5:55 pm I can not wait until some real info regarding above comes my way aye. I am interested by the way . Well as I should be within my perception of goings on anyway. Cheers BnC B, an email will be sent out to everyone very soon about the motor donations ...

by JERSEYMAN As if the naked flywheel is not precarious enough you now want to turn it into a blender, no doubt it would work and also one piece of kit less to carry I guess but if it worked well, all small outboards would have a knob or two, the fact that this has not been seen since the 1920's mu...

Hi all This strange idea had been floating around in my head for a while now... I was thinking if it may be possible to 'transform' a Seagull into an Evinrude Rowboat-Motor-esque machine, with a knob-start mechanism, maybe a different magneto set-up, flywheel etc. I intend to fit a knob-start mechan...

Hi S Yes, there was wild weather on the Saturday arvo. I was not at the booth then as I was playing for a wedding. We were donated several outboards - 4hp Evinrude ~4hp Japanese Outboard (Yamato or similar) Unknown motor Unknown motor Evinrude motor (unknown hp) Hanimex outboard British Seagull 102 ...

Hi all After a great weekend, another Mandurah Boat Show has concluded. We had 18 outboards in total on display, and had literally hundreds of people come up and say, "I had a Seagull like that when I was young" or "I remember the good old Seagulls"! A number of outboard motors w...

Collector Inspector Looking the goods Boyd. I am sorry that my health is somewhat subdued for the moment so that I could not be of more assistance. All I could do is offer the Hex Stand which is still in the front yard aye. What is the overnight security from the people running the show? Cheers BnC...

And some more...

Hi S

We have 18 motors on display with a number of seagulls included. Today was the setup day and I took some pics.

A roster is being used, with the day's divvied up between the six of us who can help out.

Cheers

Hi all It's been a long time since I did any work on my first seagulls. SJP654H5 found another home at the start of this year but I am now on the pathway to getting it back along with another SJP for my collection. Anyway, this coming weekend, us here in West Oz have the annual Mandurah Boat Show. O...
