I restored a very early Termaat and Monahan and every part was stamped 127 which was also shown on the oval bronze serial no. plate. I took the parts being all stamped to have dated to a period before they used jigs and fixtures for interchangeable parts. Will be interested to see if this engine turns up simarly marked.

Guys, I have an engine like this! It's a Michigan Steel Boat works engine. Mine is missing the wet exhaust but the rest is there. I also got a cast iron prop with it.

Audie,

Did you mean Michigan Steel Boat Company (Built by Detroit Engine Works)? I think Detroit Boat works used mostly steam engines in their boats.

Is this a float type carb or a fuel injected? What does the embossed lettering say on the top of the carb? I have photos of two different Michigan Steel Boat Co. engines and they look a little different then this one. One engine has a Detroit low pressure fuel injection and three holes in the flywheel with the patented Monahan timer lever. The other engine has a Schebler float type carb, four holes in the flywheel and a round type timer lever. I'm not saying who the manufacture of this engine is cause I'm not so sure at this point.
If anyone would like to look at the photos of the Michigan Steel Boat Co. engines click on the URL address below goto the Detroit section and click on Related 2 cycle marine photos.

After looking at the last photo closer it apears that this is some type of butterfly carb not fuel injected.

I'll have to take a closer look back at mine on the details. You are right about the Michigan Steel Boat Company. Every thread I've read about them indicates they were made by Detroit. I do know mine has Lukenhiemer mixer on it. May not be original but I bought it from the man that bought it new. All my computers are on the fritz tight now and I can't get my camera to work. I'll post photo's soon as I get the thing working.

Isn't that a "Maxim Silencer", not a wet exhaust?

The rectangular box on the motor is the wet exhaust, part of the engine. The silencer is round part screwed in.

Bill,

What ever become of the engine in the photos above? Did you buy it? or is it still for sale? I was interested in the carb that is on it. Does anyone know anything about the weird looking carb?
