Depends on the bolt? Any in particular we are talking about here?
Bolts like the SS ones for the impeller housings get a coating of OMC Gasket Sealing Compound, as does head bolts. Powerhead bolts get coated before install and torque. I use 3M 847 on them.
Or are we just talking non normally coated bolts, like ones holding trim and such? I suppose the OMC Gasket Sealing Compound could be used on them as well, as they are fine on the head bolts. I don’t have to worry about salt water, so don’t bother with my own motors, but I realize the playgrounds you run in are much different than mine.
