      Does anyone know where I can obtain a Bracket & Starter Motor for the Electric Start system in a 1957 Gale Buccaneer 25hp? And/or any Gale 25hp that had that option with the same block, I believe the electric start system is the same as the Evinrude/Johnson 35hp outboards at the time (Late 50s), and the 25hp Evinrudes from the early 50s. Thanks for any help.

        1957 Gale was a 6V starter and does not fit the 12V brackets used on J/E 35-40hp motors used 1957-up.

          Noted your comment Frank on the 1957 Gale 25hp electric starter being a 6 volt starter.  I have a 1956 Gale 12hp and a 1957 Gale 12hp, to date saw horse queens, both have electric start, are these also 6 volt?  Will using  a 12 volt starting system damage the factory starters, i.e., shorten their life.  Thanks in advance, Shell in Oregon, (Puget Sounders Chapter).

              Michael, if you are a member you can check out my posts on Currant Projects.  Big Big Twin and Big Twin two.  I have been dealing with electric starters for the last six months.  I find most of my parts from members or ebay.
