The layout of the shaft, the split sleeve, captive nut in the propeller is standard. The fettling on the sleeve is to give more friction between it and the prop, rather than the shaft, so that it comes with the prop easily. If the prop starts coming off the sleeve, use heat to expand the prop and th...

Two thoughts. 1. Have you checked the bottom of the boat for aany leaks from the skin tanks. 2. have you checked the waterpump for any leaks through the seal? I fill my header tank fairly full, but I have an overflow pipe very firmly pushed over the outlet pipe on the tank, which goes down almost to...

I regret that I have not come across British Power Boat small craft before, I am more used to their M.T.B.'s and M.GB.'s, but it looks like those in their brochure. The construction is standard for that time, The Perkins engine might be a later fitting, as most pre-war boats had petrol engines. If y...

As Johnd said it is 2 1/4" O.D., with the top rim, which sits on the deck 1/8" thick, and a spigot 3/8" deep protruding into the deck filler pipe, with a petrol proof ru...
