I think you mentioned a dual intake Water/pump awhile back ? This Thrall seems to have two intakes with shut off/on valves ?

Yup it looks like mine
Not actually valves. The handles are on threded studs that can restrict/close the intake check balls at the pump. Search for Thrall on here and you will find some pics. Mine is all nickle plated. "salt water fittings" Even the Schlebler! |

I recently came across a two cylinder, copper jacketed, fire pump outfit. The copper jackets have the ridges like a Thrall, the thin flywheel like the Waterman. Somewhere on this site, I thought I remember reading a post on just that sort of setup. However, I ran searchs for Arrow, Waterman, and Thrall and did not find what I was looking for. Does anyone recall that reference or did I read it in someother reference? Does anyone have some knowledge of that fire pump setup? |

Solarrog,
Yes, that is just exactly like the one I saw. I did not get a close enough look to determine if it was a Waterman or an Arrow.
What is approximately the latest date that these were made?
Thanks for responding. |

Its hard to tell the exact year, and for that matter weather they were Waterman or Arrow engines. Because they were sold under the Fairbanks Morse name as a complete unit, A guess would be 1915 to 1920 |

My inquiry may belong elsewhere as this little outfit isn't strictly speaking a marine item. However, it has so much in common with the Waterman-Arrow marine engines that I didn't feel it was too out of place.
I was disappointed when the seller brought this outfit down out of the loft - the water pump was missing. Nevertheless, I paid my money and took my chances that someday I might find an original pump to put on it.
The problem is I don't know what the original pump looked like, who made it, or how it coupled to the engine. If somebody has one of these, I sure would appreciate a clear photo of the pump, how it connects, some dimensions, and the make and model of the pump.
