All parts were OEM and purchased from the same vendor – http://www.vintageoutboard.com. The used the power head gasket that came with the kit. The motor did not run prior to the service. It was a mess.

I’ve done a few of these now but never had any negative results to this point.

The discharge stream seems strong compared to others I’ve owned. The exhaust housing is hot, also. Not smoldering, but hot. The power head is cool. The motor is fairly new to me, I’ve only run it a few times. It runs great, but I’d like to head this off at the pass, before I sustain any permanent damage.

Regarding the improperly sealed impeller plate. Where should the sealant be applied? I can’t remember where I applied it, but would like to get it right when I put it back together.

Thanks much for the suggestions. I will take it apart and look it over.
