The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
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.
