I have (maybe had) a good running Eska Golden Jet 500 that I decided to pull the lower unit off of, just to have a look at how the water tube was supposed to be terminated. I basically destroyed the tube as I tried to yank the LU off the exhaust housing, not knowing that the tube was actually stuck into the powerhead base. After I pulled the powerhead off, I had to destroy the gasket that seals the two halves of the base together, just to separate them. I plan to get some 1/4" copper water tubing to replace the steel tubing, and I am thinking of using Permatex copper hi-temp gasket RTV to reseal the base halves. Is there any reason not to? Just looking for some feedback from anyone that may have done this, or could think of a reason not to. I don't see any resources for those gaskets on any of the Eska support sites, either. Any info appreciated.
