hi i have a 1978 50hp that is leaking water. If you look at the photo the leak is on the right hand side up above where the ground wire is. i'm not seeing any sign of water inside the cowling so i'm thinking it is probably the power head to midsection gasket. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Do you think the exhaust housing could be cracked or just a bad gasket? Thanks Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
