Luke Tonneberger from Rockford, MI, USA provided the following links of old pictures of an single cylinder marine engine.

They seem to be posted on an Australian government site.

These are from the State Library of New Soth Wales on line collection.

Unfortunately they are only described as "Engine" from 1936.

The first one looks a bit Chapman'ish(I'll check the brochures tonight) but the other pictures of the same engine?

I have never seen a transmission the same as that but it does bear a resemblence to the later Blaxland units with the separate transmission and mounting bracket.

Hi Andrew,

Yes there is:


http://www.slnsw.gov.au/picman/comb.cfm

This is the advanced search. Select the frame no from the drop down box and key in either 13376 or 13378 or 13340.

There are some great pictures on this site of marine history related things. However the collection is very large, i think maybe 20,000 items

Regards

Mark S.

Hi Devon
What kind of simplex do you have?
The 3hp is apparently quite rare. Check out Kevin Hickey's (Hobart) elsewhere on this discussion board.

See also other's advice (including Peter Ogborne (WA)) that welding should be avoided if possible. EPIGEN epoxy apparently works fine for repair of even huge holes in the cooling jacket.

Just to reinforce my my use of epigen to repair big cutouts on water jacket walls. What i have used to build up the patch is a piece of "Termimesh '' .Again stuff the inside of the hole with Styrofoam as a ''backing '' for the Epigen .
