I've bought a nice old Seagull outboard on eBay. Its the old Clutched Century with the cylindrical tank.
Running.
I haven't owned a clutched seagull before. I've had the smaller 40+ and 40- years ago but just wondering if there is anything to be aware of with these units.
I'm going to stick it on the back of the Colvic as an auxiliary power unit. Will be mounted by bolting the mount bracket (clamp part is removable on seagulls) to a block of teak bolted to outside beside the rudder. That is rather than on an aux bracket. I also have an adjustable aux bracket if its the better way but i think the teak block will look a lot better when motor is removed for storage.
It will be set straight ahead and steering by the boat rudder.
I think it'll look "right" and much less likely to attract tealeaves than a more modern £££ outboard.
