Does anyone know if these use the same parts? I read that the Gales were usually 2 years behind the OMC motors. I think I can get a parts manual for a '55 Johnson 25 and would use it for working on the Gale Buccaneer.
The motors are different enough that the Johnson manual will not work.
Here's a link to a series of articles about OMC motors. http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/07/columns/max/articles.htm
Jump down to the article titled "Gale warnings".
He explains the relationship of Gale motors to their cousins Johnson/Evinrude.
Gale's are great motors.
Good Luck.
