A very kind older gentlemen who has far too many vintage outboards to restore gifted me this 1957 Gale Buccaneer 12HP (12D15B). It looks to be in great shape although I haven't opened it up yet. It also doesn't have a prop. He gave me another prop to get me started (see pictures) but I need to find the proper one.
How do I know what parts are interchangable? I assume Sea King is the same, but can I also use Evinrude/Johnson from same years?
Is there a good website for these old parts? I've found a few, but they didn't seem to have much..
Regarding the prop, how do I know the right specs I need?
To get started, I was going to replace the seals, carb rebuild, impeller, plugs, hoses...I don't think it's been run for decades
Any help would be much appreciated!
