1989 merc 35 hp 0C120583
I'm reconditioning this old Merc which seems to run fine at first try on the muffs, but I did notice a water leak at the temp switch in the head. I removed the switch and discovered that it had no gasket. The design of the switch and the machining of the head leads me to believe that this was designed for an an o ring seal. I don't plan on replacing the switch ($175.00), but I do need to stop the leak. I have a excellent water stream fom the pee hole after replacing the pump.
Any ideas or comments??
Thanks,
John
