I think Ive got a spun hub on my 40 Gale 1960 APPR. I also have a mid 60s 4o Johnson with a good lower unit ,they are both manual shift [NON ELECTRIC] are they interchangeable,I realize that theres not enough info but I'm hoping the lower units on OMCs where the same for many years,I changed a 60 gale same period wit a similar horse Johnson and it fit perfect.THANKS DAVE S

Tried another prop on it ?------------I do not think the lower units will interchange.----Internal parts will interchange on these lowers.--Post the model numbers here.

All 1960's Evinrudes and Johnsons, 40hp have the recirculating cooling system and the lower units will not fit your Gale. However, the 33hp J/E will fit.
