Thanks in advance for your help,
I have a 2006 Mercury 4 HP 4-stroke long shaft outboard motor on my sailboat, and I noticed that there is not a gasket between the flush plug bolt and the driveshaft housing. There is a gasket shown in the parts diagram, and it is mentioned but not shown in the owner's manual. The gasket is listed as obsolete, however, at boats.net. Is this gasket necessary or is the flush plug bolt sufficient on its own?
Thanks,
Chase
