Old 2 cylinder outboard identification question

[tbird48453]

New here, great site! Much information on these pages. I came acrossed a small, old twin cyl. outboard, cannot find any markings accept these under the wing near the gas tank, no ID tag or stickers anywhere. The numbers are M30 - CZ - 86. I have searched the internet for info but came up empty. If anyone can direct me in the right direction or can tell me what brand, model, HP ect it is I would greatly appreciate it as we need to get dad on the water again LOL. Thanks for ANY help with this matter, I have also enclosed a few pictures to help with identification. Thanks again

Looks like mid forties Goodyear Seabee

Its a Goodyear SeaBee made by the Gale Products Division of OMC. Its missing the recoil starter. It would have had a plate on the mount or tiller handle. If you find 2 empty rivet holes that's where it would have been.

​Without a model # it will be hard to pinpoint it eaxctly. My guess is late 30's or early 40's. I have a '48 5 HP and by then the design had gone more modern.

Wow thanks guys, I looked online till my eyes were hurting and didn't hear the brand Gale. I have not seen any holes where the rivets could have been, maybe I'll double check again for the 6th time LOL, might have missed it I guess. Only the numbers I posted. I'll definitely be on that now and thanks so much again, greatly appreciated and boat safe!

That style Gale/Sea Bee is a post WWII model. Some info here in a related thread...
