Row boat motor ID

Another question for you wise ones, the arms on the transom bracket are broken off they may not have been original but I can’t seem to find an image of one to copy so if any of you have a RBM could you share a photo and give me the length of the arms. Cheers

 These help you any?    

A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Thanks Tubs I can work off them, looks like I can make it out of one piece of flat steel and when in the down position it will extend about an inch past the exhaust can, might have to make a jig to get the bend 🤔 Thanks again I’ll plod along with it. The coil is shot so I will build a buzz box instead of trying to fix it.

Another question 🙂 this was in the box of bits it was full of grease,  it looks to have been repaired at some stage and has a lot of brazing done on top with a square hole would there have been a grease nippel here 🤔  sorry for all the question this is my first time seeing one of these motor’s.

We are here for people to ask questions. That is the top main bearing lubricator. You fill it with grease and give it a twist every once in a while. I don’t have this motor anymore. This is the best picture I have.

Do you know if there is ment to be a grease nippel on it or do you just pack it up by hand, Thanks again.  Getting there with the bracket it’s not as strong but will not get much use.

You would pack it full after removing the cap, then when you screw the cap down it forces  a bit of grease out the end. A half turn or so every now and then.
