        I like those motors. They great runners and simple to service. They are based on the mid-late 50’s Johnson 25/30/35HP design. In the early 1960’s all of the Johnson and Evinrude motors had switched to a double walled lower unit for better silencing. These Gale engines stayed with the more basic and lighter design.

          Good, simple and reliable motors. Most parts were used on Johnsons & Evinrudes, but not necessarily the same years. Do yourself a favor and get a parts book specific to your model. and then any Evinrude dealer can order parts for you if you give him he part number. Without the part number he probably won’t give you the time of day because he doesn’t have the book either.

          The fiberglass hood makes it a lot quieter then the old 3-piece metal cowlings were.
