It was made in May of 1979. EFS indicates it's a Model 40 Featherweight 1 or 2hp seagull. It has a Mark 3 ignition system and uses 90 weight gear oil. The ratio for post '78 seagulls is 24:1, which is a lot better than the earlier 10:1.<br /><br />Check out www.saving-old-seagulls.co.uk That's where I found all the above information.

My father-in-law picked one up at a garage sale. It started just fine but he didn't see any exhaust water. His question is where is the pee hole? Is it one of the holes on the vertical column similar to most outboards/Thanks in advance
