Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Ensure the engine is completely cool and disconnect the boat's battery before beginning work.
  2. Access the Powerhead: Remove the engine cowl and any other components that obstruct access to the powerhead mounting bolts.
  3. Detach the Powerhead: Carefully and evenly loosen and remove the bolts securing the powerhead to the adapter plate. Lift the powerhead off.
  4. Remove Old Gasket: Take off the old gasket and meticulously clean both mating surfaces. Use a plastic scraper and appropriate solvent to remove all traces of old gasket material, sealant, and corrosion.
  5. Install New Gasket: Position the new gasket correctly over the alignment dowels on the adapter plate. This gasket is designed to be installed dry; do not use any sealant unless explicitly required by your engine's service manual.
  6. Reinstall Powerhead: Carefully lower the powerhead back onto the adapter plate, ensuring it is properly aligned.
  7. Torque Bolts: Re-insert the mounting bolts and tighten them in a crisscross pattern to the manufacturer's specified torque values. This ensures even pressure across the gasket.
  8. Final Checks: Reassemble all previously removed components, reconnect the battery, and start the engine. Check carefully for any water or exhaust leaks around the new gasket.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this gasket will fit my Johnson or Evinrude engine?
The most reliable method is to check your engine's model number and year against the comprehensive 'Compatible Engine Models' table on this page. You can also verify by matching the part number from your old gasket to the numbers listed in our 'Part Number Cross-Reference' section.

What are the signs that my powerhead base gasket has failed?
Common symptoms include visible water or exhaust leaks between the powerhead and the adapter plate, engine overheating due to water passage blockage, a noticeable loss of engine power, or poor compression readings.

Should I use sealant when installing this gasket?
No. This gasket is designed to create a seal on its own and should be installed on clean, dry surfaces. Using sealant can cause it to squish out of place, leading to blockages or an improper seal, unless your engine's specific service manual states otherwise.
