I just purchased a single cylinder engine that the seller called a Kermath. The word Kermath is cast into the cylinder head, but the transmission case is clearly labeled Palmer. He gave me an envelope of papers and they are a manual for the Baby Husky.

So it looks like I have a BH, when I wanted a kermath. Did Palmer use kermath heads? Does a Kermath head just happen to fit on the BH?

Anyone near Maine want a BH?

Can we have some pics?
You can e-mail them direct to me and I will post them for you if you want.
Palmer didn't use Kermath heads and I doubt that the Kermath head fits a BH. So I wonder what you have.
May be a Kermath with Paragon gear that has a Palmer cover on it which makes sense and is a possibility.
What model Kermath are you looking for?
I have a good sea pup single cylinder with reverse gear.
Thanks

Ok, sorry I was wrong. I said it had Kermath on the head because that is what the seller told me. I have now checked it out myself and it clearly says Palmer. I cannot understand how he thought it was a Kermath.

I wanted a Kermath Sea Pup because that was what I had in my first boat about 1962. I have the parts of a Sea Pup here but the block is badly cracked.

I will sell this Palmer either on Craigslist or at the auction at Cabin Fever in April. If anyone here is interested let me know.

Ron,
Click on my name to the left and e-mail me direct.
If the Palmer has a good water jacket I will consider trading it for the Sea Pup
