Greetings guys,

I have a 2004 Mariner 4 stroke 60efi Bigfoot and I am being told by my garage that the engine will have to be stripped down completely for a gasket / washer needs to be replaced at the top of the water inlet. For this gasket / washer to be changed the whole engine needs to come out. i am quoted $600 for labour and $20 for the part. Luckily I have a good friend who is offering to do it for me in his spare time over the winter, however, he needs diagrams to work with. Would anyone know where I could get such diagrams? And is this problem common in this type of engine.

Regards
 
They changed impeller and had the engine for over a week the tell tale is not throwing out very much water

Was the tell tale not throwing out water and was it overheating before the impeller replacement? A simple spider nest in the tell tale hose can restrict water flow from it. I would want to remove the hose from the coverplate to see if there is good pressure out of the hose fitting. Also run a wire through the hose before I tear the engine apart for a gasket. Run the engine in a tank or lake to test the water flow.
 
Hey many thanks for your interest but I am 100% that they are right. They are a main agent. I am just wondering where i can pick up a diagram for the engine.

After reading alot of dealer repair horror stories on this website I hope you/they are correct. I bought a factory manual fo $85 US. It has less garbage and more trouble shooting info than SELOC. JMFO
