Which version of Gale built motor?

[Phil Budne]

“very much” — except for the “leg” adopted from the 1.5, and capable of “reverse” (turning the head 180 degrees).

The model number on the museum piece identifies it as 1947/48, so if yours is a 3hp, it could be earlier (1945/46)

(I don’t dare go back and edit posts, ever since doing that made posts be declared “spam” and disappear into a black hole!)

Yeah, mine does not have 360 deg turning. The side cowls look the same, but that one has the larger cast aluminum carrying handle that bolts to the bottom of the crankcase. Mine has the smaller, molded steel handle that attaches to the transom clamp pivot bolt. Thanks for looking!
