1963 15hp Gale Buccaner

[user300c]

Good Day everyone!!!

First off I want to thank everyone in advance for the advice you may offer. Well I have a 63 15Hp Gale Buccaner. It run's okay but I want to spice it up a little and I need to find some parts.

Just wondering if anybody knows some good places in Canada preferably...or of course the US.

I know that I can get parts from Johnson/Envinrude but I am trying to figure out what year of Johnsons/Envinrude works with my gale.

Also if anyone has parts manual for my baby that would be great!!!.

Thanks i n advance.

Matt

Had a 62 Gale Sea King 15hp. Nice motor. I think they are cousins to the Johnson FD 18 hp motors or Evinrude Fastwin 18's of the same era...but not all parts are interchangeable.

Parts manual may be available at kencook.com (I forgot the address.same catalog may be available here.The 15 is very close to the E/J 15/18.
pretty sure the carb kits and coils are the same.What parts were you looking for?In my aftermarket service manual the Gale 12,and 15 are listed in the same section with the 15,18 and 20 E/J motors.
If you look on ebay many of the venders have excellent info on parts matches/interchanges etc.
