Shift lever on the side of motor. It would be alot easier to help if you gave a serial number and/or horse power. 1962 should be a Gale but a serial number would really help.:facepalm:
It is a 1962 model#18734b serial# 26x848982.. My original has been figured out.. I feel dumb but it was a sheer pin.. Now I need to know where to find a head "gasket"
That model number brings up some confusion. It is a 15hp, right?? Head gasket is part number 203247. See your local Evinrude dealer. Take the part number with you because he probably doesn't have the book.
18734B is a Sea King number I,m thinking you may have transposed a number.
A 18743b is a 40 hp.
Normally the first two Gale numbers are the hp. No 18s ever. near as I can tell in 62 there was a 3,5,15,25 and 40.
18734C is a 1963 15hp. That is what led me to conclude the "B" is a 1962. The "26X in the serial number verifies it indeed is a 1962. But 18734 does not show up in the 1962 list. A picture would clear up the matter immediately. There are more than a few 1960-ish Sea King models that do not exist in the official Gale service manual list. That was when Gale was about to cease production (1963).
