1984 Force 50 Water problem

[tom kriz]

I noticed recently a quantity of water coming from the engine just below the power head. I found a portion of a gasket and assume that is the problem. Any idea as to the repair ?

Can't tell exactly where it's coming from?Is the motor running rough?Have you checked to see if you have water on the plugs?You might have to pull the cylinder head off and see if there's a bad place on the gasket,but first I would order a new gasket and have it ready to put on, then torque the bolts to around (225 inch pounds?)might want to double check that. If not any of the above you might have a cracked head
