    85 evinrude 25hp power head gasket

    I bought a 1987 sun tracker bass buggy that has been sitting in the water for years. The guy acted like he hadn’t taken out of water in 10 years lol. Needless to say that amount of buildup on it is bad and I have tried almost every trick, tip, home mixture and even the expensive stuff...
