Hey i bought a 3hp Goodyear SeaBee from late 40's/early 50's recently and i got it running. my only concern was that she doesnt seem to be sucking any water and she's smoking a bit. My questions are:
1. is the Engine water cooled or air cooled?
1. (b) if so, where is the Water intake and where is the water released?
2. Where is the gear housing, and how do i grease the gears?
3. Where is the exhaust expelled?
Thank You so much!

1. Water Cooled.
1b. Water intake is forward of the propeller. You can't see it without removing the propeller. See #3
2. Gear housing??? The unit forward of the propeller. There is a grease fill plug on one side and a vent on the other side. Squeeze grease in till it comes out the vent. Use Lubriplate 105 "engine assembly grease" because the old Ooutboard gear grease is no longer made.
3. Exhaust comes out the big snout above the propeller. Also an exhaust relief about half way down the midsection. Cooling water blows out with the exhaust.

Glad you didn't ask more specific questions without a model number.

1953 Sea Bee 3hp, made by Gale Products. Gale model 3D11G. I am absolutely, positootly sure it is water cooled. And I am positive the water pump inlet is right where I said it is. Besides, I have two of them.
