Like to help myself. Do you have pictures of the area of the live well, plumbing, thru hulls and stuff? I think that would help us out on here.

Are they those yellow rubber coated ones? I personally don’t like those. Had a couple leak, even after the first use. The blue paper ones never an issue. BUT, with any drain screw you replace it every time you drain the lube.

Well some manuals tell you to use adhesive on the exhaust bellow. I’ve done it and it comes off when trimming up. Read somewhere else that said clean and dry. Works for me!

Yup I see that now. Thanks.

Did they fuel it up? Possible water in the fuel?

Mine does. Same motor.

Exhaust bellow is best installed dry, no adhesive. In my experience it comes off if adhesive is applied.

If there was a good way to charge them I think electric cars would use it instead of having to be plugged in.

Well, I forgot about those type of gaskets. thanks' for the reminder. lol Also I've read that those metal shim gaskets may contain asbestos. No big deal, and the old timers would soak them in water to swell them back up and let them dry for re-use.

it. Question, I work on a lot of vintage cars and trucks. On those its normal when I replace a head gasket I coat the gasket and metal surfaces with copper coat for a good seal, Should I do the same with this? What? Never apply sealant to a head gasket. If machined properly no sealer is needed.

No.

I switched mine to the round Chrysler ones at the tank. In my opinion they are more...

If those are the bonding wires, just drill a new hole next to the old broken one, being sure to drill where the wire will reach. Then use a ss screw as stated above. Drilling the old screw out never results in a good time.

That sounds like the transom boot/seal. A pic would verify. Easy repair if that's it.

Seems every time I use adhesive on the exhaust bellow, they pop off after a bit. If I install them dry they stat put.

Did you see my message? It’s about the trim block gasket leaking. Seen that happen three times over the years.

Did you ground your meter to the motor or the battery itself?

4200 can be removed later if need be. 5200, not even the best adhesive remover will take it off.

Step 1: Throw out the 5200. Step 2: Get the 4000 or 4200. Step 3: As stated why seal the exterior of the outdrive? if it's leaking it's in need of transom work.

The risers get constant water flow. The seawater pump moves water to them constantly. The thermostat does not have to open to cool the manifolds. However the thermostat keeps the block at a good operating temperature. You say the seawater pump is leaking, yes it’ll suck air also. Replace it.
