No, there are no head gaskets like other engines. But you should find O-rings...

Check if your oil feed hose isn't bent or cracked. It' a sign the oil from your tank couldn't get to the engine fast enough... If it's a 2 hose oil tank, check if your oil tank cap is wel sealed.

If this happens at both the command points ( remote control AND lower engine cover buttons) then check your relays. You'll find both relays at the engine, 2 black cubes about 2cm wide. The relay with green wiring is for down movement. The blue wiring is UP. Switch both relays. If the engine goes down but not up. replace the relay. Otherwise check the wiring. One will be loose or broken.

If the sudden changes occures while the boat is plning, the changes are due to the passing of disturbet, turbulent, air bubbled water under the boat. If they happen while the boat is still, probabily you detect some fish or other sea-life...

low water flow/pressure, low oil level crank position sensor or blocked main jets in the carby , low fuel supply

Armor all or paint restorers found at auto supply stores.

Online, eBay, craigslist.

No poly-plastics of the type used in manufacturing can only be armor-all surface cleansed but makes the craft very slippery to lift and use. Color is restored though. Make sure there are no brittle areas that have been 'cooked' by the sun while stored in a yard. IMPORTANT!

fill the kayak using a hose and the drain-hole. every ocean kayak has a drain-plug. with water going into the shell, any holes will show up. Drain water and use.

Check the entire craft for brittle areas. It means that SUN-BAKING has occurred. If the dent can be accessed from a port on the deck it is not a problem, but if it cannot, it may prove to be a weak spot. No WEAK SPOTS are allowed in a sit-on-top kayak. Get the longest craft you can transport/afford/lift always!

Oilcanning is a fairly common problem usually caused by improper storage or transport of your kayak, especially if it's hot out. Gently heating your hull (either by laying your kayak upside down in the sun on a warm/hot day or by using a heat gun CAREFULLY) MIGHT pop the dent out. If you were dealing with a single-hulled kayak, a little gentle pressure on the area with the dent while it's warm/hot would definitely do the trick. Not sure how I would approach a double hulled kayak, but it would probably be a combination of heat and pressurizing the inside of the hull or heat and water on the inside of the hull...would have to experiment.

paint and clear coat

Local hardware stores have fiberglass repair kits. Depending on how big the hole is (larger than a quarter), you might want to overlay it prior to patching. The hardware store should have a strong enough and thin enough material depending on the size.

The kits work well, just remember to let it cure for longer than required for a secure bond. My father snapped his entire canoe in half and was able to repair it and resume his trip out of the wilderness.

Gouges? How big and or deep? Is it a problem in some way?Poly kayaks get them and really all you can do is smooth the edges so they do not snag on things. Use a very sharp knife and a steady hand -- the less you cut the better. Do not be tempted to use a hot knife!!

I found this site for you, I have never been involved in pulling a keel or removing lead, so you are on your own, check this out.

Prop shaft. You have to remove the bearing housing cap. reference number 70. Remove the bearing housing. reference number 60. The bearing housing will need to be pulled out buy using a puller. If it was in salt water it can be difficult. Pull the prop shaft and clutch dog assembly.

umm....plastic or composite? If it's plastic, sit it out in the sun or carefully heat the dent with a heat gun and gently push it back out. Happens all the time.

If it's a composite or a rigid plastic kayak, you have a nice repair job ahead of you that won't fit into this space comfortably.
