Re: Goops and sealants…..?

[frankr]

OK, you asked, so I’ll tell you. For most gaskets, I use OMC/BRP Gasket Sealer for the exact reason you mentioned, It isn’t so nasty to use. The exceptions would be carburetor and reed plate gaskets, and pre-coated head gaskets. For metal to metal such as gearcase skegs and under the pump plate, Scotchgrip 847. For screw threads where water or corrosion may come into effect, the OMC Gasket Sealant.

There, I said it, so now everybody can come up with their substitutes.

BTW, to coat gaskets, I keep an old magazine on hand. Open it up lay the gasket on a page and brush on the OMC Sealer. Flip the gasket over and brush on the other side. Peel it off and use it, and close the magazine and lay it aside till next time.
