Hi Everyone,
So here is a question going through my mind in reading through my Force manual. In many places it talks about using loctite 271 (red) on little bolts like the water pump bolts, and seals or what not. It scares me because I know that in regular non-marine applications using loctite red means that you're never going to take it apart again without a battle. What do you guys think about substituting with loctite blue? Does the nature of a 2 stroke outboard in a marine environment really make bolts loosen up that badly?
