Silver Springs, Nevada, United States
Condition:Used Brand:Kermath Country/Region of Manufacture:United States Engine(HP):61HP L134ci Flathead Manufacturer Part Number:KWBM 82 Stroke:4-Stroke

I have a rare, complete Kermath-Marine engine & gearbox; prop shaft assembly & prop; instrument panel; steering wheel & components. 

Engine is none other than the iconic 'Go-Devil' Willys-Jeep MB, manufactured for military use towards the end of WWII, in 1945.

4 cylinder 134ci 61 HP L Head marined by Kermath and respectively named the Sea-Jeep '4' High Speed. 

This Army surplus engine is in original, excellent, rarely used condition. It was rescued out of a rotted 16' Gar Wood DeLuxe. It was however, never installed. Placed there with intent and forgotten about.

The prop shaft assy is all bronze and includes the 1" shaft, Kainer & Co thru shaft log, Perko adjustable 1" prop strut, and 3 blade 11" RH pitch 5 prop. 

The Kermath gauge panel is dated Jun 18 1946. It has a reverse tach from the AC division of GMC. 

The Willys block casting is 638632. The red is covering the original WWII olive drab paint. 
The S/N is MB510xxx. The Kermath gearbox data plate reads:
S/N: 461284
Code: KWBM 82
And next to this, the casting number/code is: 1X-71-P2

This classic beauty belongs in a boat. Many of your classic builders, including Chris Craft, offered this engine with their 1946-47 line up.

I also have the boat plans for a No. 36 Chum, designed by WD Jackson specifically for marined Jeep engines that I will email to buyer if they wish. If I had the skill set I would build this 15 1/2' boat and paint it to match my 1945 Willys! It would be a show stopper!!

What a way to honor those who served and show tribute to the war effort made at home too! 

Item can be shipped via a pallet/freight.
