Are you missing a bolt that holds the power head on? I don't think there should be any kind of leakage in that area.

Re: My 1968 6 horse Johnson kicker

If you were missing the bolt to the right (middle bolt) It would be leaking water

Keep that in mind if you ever want to drain the water out of the powerhead. (like salt water)

looks like more than just a bolt missing -- bet there's an interesting story in here somewhere...

I doubt its any more that a bolt. With that bolt missing, you have a hole leading into the exhaust area.
This is one of the best place to have a broken bolt/threads.

If you had to, you could pull the exhaust port and get to the top of the bolt, and throw a nut on it.

I went to store and bought allen head bolt, red loc tite and installed. Bolt fit snug so I think it is fixed.
May have been a little rich and hole was in exhaust so------there we have it. Will get on water this weekend and give it a try.

Thanks Again---Bud

You used locktite?

Good luck getting it out again, should you ever need too

Loc tie is not that good, I use it all the time on my Harley, with no adverse affect. I can still remove bolts if need arises........
