You have yourself a gray gearless outboard produced from 1914-1917 . They where a 3HP , and used a flexable shaft to drive the prop . The Blakely Engine Co. produced a flex shaft also and was suppose to hold the right to the design . What deal Blakely and Gray had is unknow but the only difference I can find is that there is no name on the flywheel of a blakely . Would be interested in seeing a pic. of your motor. |

Peter I believe Richard D. was being sacrastic . Gray was a large producers of inboard motors and where looking at one of their side ventures. |

Hence the common name of rowboat motors "Knuckle Busters" |

Don't worry... nobody's going to the woodshed.. Certain outboards are always of interest to us "inboarders". Nice looking motor. I don't think I would delete a picture of that elusive "Palmer Outboard" if someone posted it ! |

I wouldn,t be to worried about the knob. I'd be more concerned about leaning back a bit to far and being bitten by the plug. |

Do any of these motors run? Should I try to find parts for mine and try to make it run. How much value do you lose when you paint them. Keep in mind mine is bad off. |

Does anyone have an extra fuel tank for a Gray Gearless or Blakely power heads. I just bought another one that had an Evinrude tank on it. I was supprised to see it fit. PeterG I pefer to paint my old outboards back to stock colors. I do not run them after restoration. I have plenty of old timers to run that are not as valuable. |
