Hi,
I recently got a 5hp Gale Buccaneer outboard model 5D10B. I don't have much experience with engines, I am only using this for a wooden boat I am building. I have a few equations about disassembling a certain part of the motor, which I can't figure out on my own. I probably shouldn't go this far in my restoration, but I do have experience restoring vintage machine tools. Because of my inexperience with engines, I do not know all of the names of these parts, so hopefully what I say isn't too confusing.
Here are the photos of the part I need help on:
There are three sections. In the first photo on far right is a small "section" (probably has a name) where the power head was bolted onto (I will refer to it as section 1). On the far left of the first photo is a "section" where the lower assembly was bolted to (I will call it section two). And, in between the two sections is the middle segment (called section 3) where the transom clamp assembly was attached. Section 3 spins freely, where as sections 1 and 2 remain stuck together. I am trying to take apart these sections to clean them, paint them, and to fix a piece of metal which was bent. I have removed all noticeable bolts and pins which could keep it together, but they are stuck. It appears as if sections 1 and 2 are press fit on pipe that section 3 is able to rotate around. So, I tried heating up section 1 with a propane torch, I put a wood dowel through where the drive shaft was, and I hit the end of the dowel with a rubber mallet hoping section 1 would come off. Sadly, it did not. I am not sure what else to try. If anyone has taken apart this motor (or similar), or has some insight as to how to disassemble this section. I would appreciate a response.
Thanks,
-Matthew
