Greetings,
I have a 1980 7.5HP Evinrude E8RCSS which runs fine. But an upper unit water gasket leak has developed. The problem is I cannot locate a picture or exploded diagram specifying the gasket part I need.
Here's the part: When you are facing the rear of the engine (with the cover off, obviously), located directly under the back of the flywheel is a small triangular casing attached with three screws on its three corners, and it has a gasket. The casing is labeled 325276. The gasket is leaking water.
I have Googled and Googled ad nauseam but I cannot find a parts diagram for this area of the motor! For instance this particular site's parts page for 325276 doesn't show a diagram or mention the gasket, and I don't want to buy anything I can't see beforehand looks like the correct part. http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/brp/B-0325276.html
I need the gasket and probably need to replace the three bolts too.
I will happily buy a manual if assured that it has the exploded parts view I need.
Thanks for any help here folks !!
