And a tip of the hat to you outbdnut2.

When I pull it apart I’ll check for a thermostat.

Ah to be young and foolish again instead of old and still foolish.

NO thermostat on the Gale. Be sure to replace the cork gasket in mumbles’ picture. And the o-ring. Those parts keep water out of the crankcase. 303355 gasket and 303347 o-ring.

Any Evinrude dealer, or several on-line, or several aomci members. That stuff is very common and used for years

You can cut the cork seal out of a piece of rubberised cork gasket material and the O ring will be in one of those universal O ring kits you can buy. Just make sure the chosen O ring is not too tight on the driveshaft. A 5/8″ punch will cut a neat hole in the cork.

I joined this group only this morning. In this short period of time since I have learned more than
I did after weeks of surfing the web.

The resources you have shared with me are greatly appreciated.

I’m looking forward to utilizing my newly gained knowledge as soon as it warms up so I can work in the garage without wearing gloves.

Again thanks to all.

Five of the seven head unit screws have been removed.
The remaining two screws heads are located between the bottom of the cowling and the top
of the handle. I’ve not figured out how to get to them without removing lots of parts.
In the meantime I’m dusting off some favorite swear words.
