Title: Kermat Marine engine? Now with pictures
Post by: Heo on June 29, 2019, 02:50:08 PM: I have a 4 cyl Kermat 12 hp engine, sidevalve,
Looks like 1910-1920 isch. Bigger than a Model-T
atleast on the outside cyl and heads cast 2x2
bolted to the crankcase. Any one know anything
about them? Google came up with nothing just V12s
and six cyl.

Post by: RustyCrankshaft on July 03, 2019, 09:31:13 PM: I'm still looking, but so far I haven't found where I put the scanned shop manual. I'm not sure it would be of a ton of help, my Kermath was a bit newer (late 30's) but it would be better than nothing if I can find it.

Post by: TomP on July 05, 2019, 04:55:52 PM: If it is rare and valuable you might be able to trade it to a Kermath collector for a V12 Sea Raider engine.... that would really make the Galaxie run!
