My thinking is that this is not a Marine engine,only one persons opinion.
its old at least 100 yrs and very cool, others on here are more familiar with these engines ?

Richard,
I also think it may not think not be a marine engine. It should be a smooth runner with all of the fancy balancing work done on the flywheel.
Try posting on https://smokstak.com/ and you may get a quicker answer.

It looks marine to me since the block seems to be set up for bolting onto wood stringers... In a small boat it wouldn't need a transmission... just start and go... |

Output shaft seems to be small, no signs of a water pump. It's a nice engine. |

After looking at this engine closely
there is a cast number or possibly a logo at the cylinder base flange ?
May help in future research
