Re: 1962 gale prop

I have a 55 Buccaneer 5. I got my spare prop off ebay. Many vendors there have detailed application info
and many parts available.I got coils,pump,and prop.
I believe the leg and gear case parts are shared with the Evinrude Johnsons of similar years.
All models except the 5S series. My 55 has the old style carb yours shares carb with E/J motors.

Re: 1962 gale prop

The 5.5 hp Johnson and Evinrude props should fit BUT... They were changed around 1956 or so and older ones will almost fit, but they won't go all the way on the shaft because they bang up against the bearing housing. And they were changed again, around 1966, the redisigned ones won't work because the drive pin is in the wrong end.
