Paul I will try to answer your question. Gale Corporation built SeaKing, Brooklure, Royal, Sea-Bee and a bunch more outboards for a lower price. Good quality motors but a little less cost. My experience is Gale was used to test some components and use up obsolete parts. Fuel pumps were used several years before Johnson/Evinrude started using them. The leg, lower units, the lack of cylinder head continued several years after they were phased out on J&E motors. Some Gale internal components like roller bearings and better seals an easy open cowl came along a few years after J&E got them. Hope this helps.
