Before installing old heads on a new block it's important to check the head for flatness. For how-to click here. Of course check real good for any cracks.
For other than race engines we have always used Fel-Pro PermaTorque head gaskets. NO sealant (RTV) added.
Check intake manifold for flatness...
I really don't see why you asked that question here. :unsure:
The load is not over the vehicle limit.
You have access to another vehicle with a tow strap.
Since no body here knows anything about your boat ramp, answering is a crap shoot.
Have the other vehicle and tow strap ready and just try...
Sorry I wasn't trying to insult you. I was trying to just use an example to easily explain what @dingbat did above in a much better manner. Sorry again!
I'd like to add to dingbats explanation if no one minds?

Thank you everyone for the quick replies.
I wasn't sure if parts from the 80 HP would fit my 50 HP.
If I could get both motors running this summer without investing a ton of money, I wouldn't mind using the 80 w/tilt. I could either save my 50 for a backup or sell it. Used running outboards...
I haven't tried getting my '78 Mercury running yet. My boat's sticker says MAX HP 90.
I spotted a 1997 Mercury 80 supposedly with power trim for (asking) $300.00

I've never seen oil that looks like condensed milk caused by just condensation. I'm thinking if it took 12 years of condensation to get to that point there would be serious internal engine damage, if not now real soon.
Metal rusts from moisture and air. Killing or removing the rust and then applying a few coats of paint would work.
But your neighbor is not pulling your leg.
A layer of oil prevents water and air from coming into contact with the metal.
Here in NH it is popular for folks to do an oil based...
First off, some missing info... Boat year, make and model.
Probably the best thing to do is look for any thing electrical that does not work. Then research how many AMP's it requires.
Good luck!
As mentioned above.
I don't understand why you would want to change it. Once you do the stereo fader control will be backwards, i.e. front balance will be rear speakers & rear balance will be front speakers.

The boat, trailer, motor in my signature are all dated the same so I assume it came from a dealer as a package.
The trailer has rollers for the keel and bunks along the sides in the back.
Sorry these are the only pics I have right now.
Speaking about the electricity...

Microsoft has always released buggy newer versions. I was never quick to upgrade until they fixed the majority of problems.
My upgrade path:
DOS 3.3

Windows 10
I'm keeping my 98 PC running because of all the expensive programs I own out right for it. I'm not paying...
I grew up on Long Island Sound, from East Haven to Stratford CT with most time off Milford shore.
As I got older a buddy and I would spend every low tide on Mondays clamming. High tides on the weekends on the water fishing or checking his lobster pots in a 16' outboard.
We were able to see the...
Looks like possibly the gel coat cracked and someone painted over it without sanding it smooth and flush.
My question would be "why" did the gel coat crack like that?
