[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 361893, member: 13599"] My 1979 Johnson 25 has a new head gasket but is still getting water into the cylinders. sooooooo..... with the information I have gathered here, the bottom must come off and replace the exhaust gasket. Does anyone know about how many hours of labor this would take in a professional shop ? I don't want to undertake this project myself as I am NOT a mechanic. I can, however, replace the impeller, etc. But going up into the motor gives me the shivers. Just asked the local bait shop that has a mechanic that does their work and he is very dependable but he is out of town this week. his rate is $65 per hour and they have no problem with me getting all the parts needed and bring the boat to him. So I am just wondering how long it would take to change out the lower gaskets without any serious major unforseen problems. [/QUOTE]
