Yesterday I was brought a British Seagull for a strip down and service. That means an acid clean of the steel petrol tank, drain the gearbox and fill with the correct 140 grade of Castrol gear oil.
Check the plug and also the points in the flywheel. The carburetor was blocked solid from rust in the petrol tank, there is a drain plug and I will advise the owner to drain the tank on a regular basis.
As it turned out the outboard will be used on a John Welsford Navigator that was made from a kit we supplied , we have the plans also.
Blustery conditions to which the Navigator is well suited.
This boat looks good from any angle.
Plans, kit and sails are available, we can ship World wide.
My thanks to Steve for the pictures.
