I reworked some stuff in the powerhead then when I attach the powerhead it was leaking water at the bottom seal I tried retorquing it it was still leaking I took it apart and put a new gasket and it was still leaking eventually I put some RTV on the gasket surfaces and it stopped leaking water. It ran fine for several outings then I got the issue where it won't run with the cover on and I believe from what I've read in this forms that I have an exhaust leak in that spot. I'm getting new exhaust plate gaskets but I guess I'd like to get some advice about how to install them properly so I can prevent this from happening again. There seems to be remnants of a raised Ridge in the metal in the top half of this gasket Sealing surface which is worn down and it is not intact anymore. Thank you for any advice you might have. The good thing is I'm pretty quick at pulling the powerhead on and off now LOL
