My 1979 Johnson 25 has a new head gasket but is still getting water into the cylinders.
sooooooo..... with the information I have gathered here, the bottom must come off
and replace the exhaust gasket.
Does anyone know about how many hours of labor this would take in a professional shop ?
I don't want to undertake this project myself as I am NOT a mechanic.
I can, however, replace the impeller, etc.
But going up into the motor gives me the shivers.
Just asked the local bait shop that has a mechanic that does their work and he is very
dependable but he is out of town this week. his rate is $65 per hour and they have no
problem with me getting all the parts needed and bring the boat to him.
So I am just wondering how long it would take to change out the lower gaskets
without any serious major unforseen problems.
