I'm rebuilding the lower unit and to the point of assembling the water pump. Per the manual and parts diagram, it calls for a shim to be put on first before the pump housing. Somewhere along the line the previous shim has disappeared and when I was going to order a new one, there were 4 different thicknesses of shims offered. How do I decide which shim it is that I need? Or do I even need one? And before the haters respond about all the bad things of not doing it exactly how it says, I understand all of that, but it almost seems to fit together nicely without the shim. Thanks
