Re: Proofing against corrosion with threads?

[Casey Lynn]

A good teflon based thread sealer cannot be beat for any saltwater application. Since that is the case just imagine how good it will be for a freshwater engine. As Jeff mentioned earlier he uses basically the same thing.
Dealers in South Florida turned us (OMC) on to this trick decades ago as they were treating gearcase and water pump fasteners with it and they still came out years later when they needed to. Coat the shank in the longer screws as they will seize as well….again, mentioned earlier.
Pretty much anything above the water line and not directly subjected to water can be coated with GSC or gasket sealing compound.
