Seatiger 555 With Chain Drive

[blackjacobin]

I know this subject has come up before but I think I need further or more detailed information. We are installing the bulletproof Seatiger 555 on our steel schooner and it wildcat was jammed so we decided to rebuild and refurbish the whole thing so we would have no more surprises. The surprise was that the innards are chain driven and we cannot find a manual or many examples of this. I have written to SL Spares but am also hoping to find users of this model in this community for guidance.
Thanks

His video is amazing and one of the best explainers Ive seen. Unfortunately that is not like ours.

There are a few pictures and a tiny bit of information in this thread.

The SL 555 doesn't have chains as part of its drive BUT the SL HySpeed 510 does. My guess is that the parts you need can be found here:

thanks but the hispeed has different gearing.
Apparently the chaindrive Seatiger is an early version and no-one can seem to find a manual as far as I can tell. I will consult the hispeed diagram for other info.
Thanks.
