[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 344214, member: 13599"] When replacing the head gasket on my 1979 Johnson 25, I came across these 3 rubber tubes called [b]Water Passage Deflectors[/b]. They were crumbly from an overheat by the P.O. Using a few odd tools, I managed to get them out and clean the water jacket thoroughly. New ones will be here next week with the head gaskets. Now, I am assuming to put the new ones right back as the Service Manual suggests ??? Any Permatex required ? Or, just push them in and and get them straight. Also, the [b]Thermostat[/b] was removed by the P.O. - - - probably the reason for the overheat. I am in Central FLorida, the coldest water I will be running in will be 72* so is a Thermostat really necessary in warm fresh waters ???? [/QUOTE]
