    Leaky Bottom

    I bought a 1960 35hp Gale outboard last year. I got the engine running great. I had to put a new pinion gear in the gear case because the old one had sheered off. When i put it back together I noticed that I'm leaking gear oil out of two spots. Refer to the link at the end of this message. I...

    Marine Carpet

    I'm restoring my boat and when it came to replacing the carpet I was told that I HAD to replace it with marine carpet. Only problem is that it's pretty pricey. Can I use anything else that will last but might be a bit easier on the pocketbook?

    Gale 35hp

    I bought a 1960 gale 35hp and a 12.5' fiberglass boat last fall. Motor seems to run fine here at home and my boat is rated for a 40hp.

    Coils

    I took off the fly wheel from my 1960 35hp Gale outboard to have a look at the coils because I didn't have any spark. I noticed that the coils looked like they were sweating. Does this mean that I have to replace them? Does anyone know what my points are supposed to be gapped at? Is there...
