Hey guys, great site! I just bought my first boat and love it. It was used and I have been working on the motor to get it all set for the opening of trout season here in Washington State. I did notice when I last ran it that part of a gasket between the upper and lower unit was missing and some exhaust was coming out.

Take a look at the photos and tell me what you think. I would like to do all the work myself but I am having a hard time finding some info on how to replace this gasket. It looks like I can loosen the 6 bolts holding the upper on and then lift it off and replace the gasket but I am not sure if there are steps I am missing. Thoughts?
