[QUOTE="SAABologist, post: 496213, member: 31667"] Hi, I am installing the powerhead on 1987 Mariner (Yamaha) 450 hp 2 cylinder 2-stroke. Here are my questions for the helpful pros who've done this so many times. Thanks in advance. How much should I attach to the powerhead before placing it onto the platform of the leg of the motor? Is it best to bolt it in bare-bones or with the components already in place? -Is it advised to attach stator, flywheel first? -Should I attach the CDI unit and other components? - Starter? - Timing linkage? - Carburetors and linkage? (Most of the above was very easy to remove before taking the powerhead off, but I am wondering if anything is to be gained by putting it back together before lowering it onto the platform.) GASKET- I have read that some folks are fine using hi-temp RTV, others feel a gasket is necessary. I was planning on using only a bead of black hi-temp RTV. I am really just looking for pointers on making this simple job easier and better, thanks. [/QUOTE]
