Lewis paint
What is the paint that was used on the Lewis hulls, being a red - brown it looks to be transparent . Is it clear with a tint in it or is it some thing of the shelf. My smaller boat has the same paint on it

Thommo, the gear pump you have to my understanding is for oil base fluid- cutting oil for lathe or machine type use. I may be wrong but there would be no lube in the pump if used with straight water, that why the pumps used in boats have rubber impeller in them.
