Re-assembling lower unit after dropping to replace water pump housing/impeller (just lower dropped) for the first time; finding difficulty in believing there's no gasket called for between the two...unless water is expected to leak in, which I don't believe to be the case. Neither surface is perfectly smooth. I do know about the 'quad oil seal,' and have that replacement ready, just wanted to ask about the next step before bolting it back up. Feedback appreciated.
