I grabbed myself a tube of the 2-4-C grease, and the Extreme Grease last year since I was using generic grease before. Is the 2-4-C grease good for most spots in the outdrive and engine? Good for putting a thin coat on o-rings and such when doing repairs?
How about Perfect Seal on the gaskets? I haven't got this one yet but I am doing my impeller this year and I read in the manual it said the gasket should get a nice coat of this. Is this what you guys use? I always remember Don S (RIP, I miss you every time I think of my I/O) on the forums mentioning aviation gasket maker did just as good of a job. I already have some Permatex? Super 300 Form-A-Gasket, can I use this in place of Perfect Seal? The Perfect Seal container is gigantic and doubt I'd use that up in a few lifetimes.
How about on the screws and bolts that connect the upper to the lower unit? I've seen member achris mention he uses AquaLube grease. Can I use the 2-4-C or the Extreme Grease on those bolts in the same way AquaLube is used? My screws had a bunch of salt water powder in the threads so I want to be sure I grease these bolts before I reinstall after I clean them up.
Any tips appreciated.
