Motor 1998 75 Force.
I?m planing on replacing the head gasket & inspecting the exhaust plates at the next service. I?m running the motor in salt water and as far as I know they haven?t been looked at before.
Can the lower cowling be unbolted and lowered or do I need to remove the powerhead to get to the bolts if I need to use heat?
The thrust washer for the prop seems to be seised on. Does it need to be loose enough to remove easily? Is there any trick to removing it?
I found out the previous owner had it service at the local lawnmower shop.
Any help would be appreciated.
