My son and I recently purchased a Gale Buccaneer 5 HP OB. Model # 5D20B. I am looking for sources to obtain manuals and or drawings and parts list. Does anyone know of a good source for this information?

I'd keep Googling it and check the links. You might check online for the various boatshow sites. I know I have seen some displays at boat shows that are put on by an old outboard group, society or club. They really had lots of display models and they would know. Just look at the list of exhibitors and they may have the name and contact info. Sort of a long shot but I have seen them. Good luck.
