Hi there
I just got an older 14 foot crestliner, tilt trailer w/ rollers and Gale 40HP MODEL 40DE - 17B It was my friends grandfathers and looks in good condition for age. I was wondering if anyone could help me find information on it? or have any history with them? I found a manual for a large year range , but it was 300 pages, is there a smaller one? Will also need parts access. I need a new skeg or one welded on because on the way home i chipped it backing it up into the driveway. And could someone tell me the spark plugs I need? there was none in it but it turns over and my friend said he had it running last year with a spark problem on one of the cylinders. So I might need coils etc..... Anyone used this motor? I was going to buy a new motor but thought id try this one out. And if my friend can't find the key for ignition is that okay?
few pictures there before i cleaned it with degreaser
Thanks a lot
Andrew
