Hi, putting the above motor back together and looking for someone that knows the trick to getting the thin rubber head gasket to stay in the grooves long enough to get the head on. OR did thy give us the wrong gaskets? So far it's like trying to keep 50 kittens in a box. Thanks, Bob Please respond to psa@svcable.net

If the power head is still installed on the leg, then it's a bit of a task.
If the power head is on a bench, then just lay it on it's side.
Of course there is a possibility of having the wrong part. Without a part number, I can't say.

A 2000 Evinrude 200 is a direct injected FICHT engine that uses a regular fiber and stainless steel reinforced head gasket.
A 60 degree engine, V4 or V6, which runs from 75hp thru 175hp uses o-rings and RTV sealer instead of cylinder head gaskets.
Better give us the motor's model number and the part number of your gaskets so we know exactly what you have.
