What happened to the British Seagull outboard in 1996?
In 1996 the production of the British Seagull outboard engines ceased but the Spare Parts supply continued in its renowned friendly and highly personal way. In 1999, Chillington Marine Ltd, the owners at that time of British Seagull decided to pull out of the marine leisure market handing over responsibility for the British Seagull name to Sheridan Marine on the River Thames in Oxfordshire. We have continued the manufacture and supply, where possible, of original spare parts re-introducing some discontinued items in the last few years.
