Thanks Art for the photo. I have to make the top part of the advance/retard lever as mine is sawn off about half way up!
Also thanks to Ernie for posting the picture.
Nick.

I just found this website and was surprised to see someone else has a Watkins Motor. Mine is also a 3 hp. No. 150. It looks considerably different than yours. My family acquired it at an acution in 1950 or 1951. I have no idea what kind of boat it was in. In 1961 as part of a shop project I bolted it to a bench and had it running. Thought I might put it in a boat, but not yet! I also have the propeller that was used with it. My attempt to upload a photo has failed, but I can probably email one if interested.
