Saving Old Seagulls

Yes, very exciting for me too. I see yours also has the original brass height adjuster. Does it have a CIESS stamp on gearbox and also would be nice to know jm magneto #. Looks like you have the original braided throttle cable.... yay.

Certainly a very original and honest motor. Mine is SD10588.L4. What paperwork do you have with it? Is it the one by the ministry of supply?

Here is mine, also a pic of the other part of the original transom fixing:

Hi hugz,
I have emailed the form, with all the details.
Please advise if you didn’t get it.

Seagull 101,
Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the pics. Your outboard is really nice, and even has the correct pull start.
Mine is SD 9822.L4.
I have been in contact with the previous owner, and there is a possibility that the brackets are still hanging up in the shed.
He will check for me in a couple of weeks, when he returns from holiday.
I will get some pics of some of the papers.
Cheers
Mark

Hugo,
I have just tried resending the email, but I don’t think it sends.
I will try again later.

Received and logged Mark. An ali top with copper/brass refinements. Same as Jacobs. Great stuff!

Thanks, Hugo.
Much appreciated.
Cheers

These are some of the papers,that came with my outboard.
Most pertain to the model 40,
But here are a couple of the SD ones

What's the date on the GA drawing Mark?

It looks like 5/3/46 if you zoom in on the bottom part of it.

Yes, 1946. It also shows the flat top magneto which is an interesting point.

And a long water jacket cylinder, that would probably make it an early AD, that's why I asked about the exact date.

that would probably make it an early AD

With a clutch?

I have the 1946 drawings X2, with the cold start page and an unused guarantee.
