Gale Buccanner 35HP

[Sleeve]

Hi there,
I?m new to the forum and I?m from Austria, so please excuse my moderate English^^. I found an old Gale 35D13B #787640 in the garret of my father.
The outboarder wasn?t in use for about 15 years. After a few pulls the monster awakens. It looks like the combustion motor is in a healthy condition but i cannot switch the gears, i think i located the problem but it would be easier if someone had some blueprints for this engine.
Theres also a small little pipe made of metall which is crooked, its located near the crank (outside).
Thanks in advance,
Sleeve

Welcome to the iboats.com forum. The experts here, which I am not, can help you with any question about your boat, motor and trailer. Your English is fine but instead of "blueprints", how about a free service manual for that great old motor. It is not a factory manual but will get you started. Click on the link below to access an online public library.

Login as instructed and then drill down to the manual by clicking on: Small Engine Repair..., Marine/Boat Motors, Gale, 35HP(1956-1964) and finally, Condensed Service Data.

I used this same manual to perform my first complete overhaul of an outboard motor with a seized 1959 Johnson 35 which is identical to your motor. This manual was good enough that my motor started and ran on the first crank after re-assembly. If you are not able to access this manual for some reason, let me know and I may be able to get it to you via email.

I will try to post links for a parts catalog and wiring diagram asap. With the documentation, you should be able to provide a better description of the part that is causing you problems. Good luck!

The link below should be the correct wiring diagram for your motor:

I could not find a Gale Parts Catalog for your 1960 model but Johnson should be the same:

Re: Gale Buccanner 35HP

I thank you soooooo much!!!! That were exactly the things i was looking for, you are the best!

The small pipe must be the oil line assembly then... this sounds like "you better change this damn part before you try to wake the monster again"

And the second thing is the clevis of the shift rod, that must be broken.

Thank you very much for your fast reply!!!!

Re: Gale Buccanner 35HP

Glad the info in those links helped you! Hopefully, your motor was not run with a damaged or defective oil line because it carries lubricating oil from the lower crankshaft bearing to the upper crankshaft bearing and is critical to a having a healthy motor. Both the oil line and the clevis are still available as OMC/BRP parts with the original part numbers plus a leading zero. FYI, it appears the clevis is listed ($61.84USD) at ten times the price of the oil line ($6.18USD). Good luck!
