    What is the best sealant for sealing motor mount holes?

    Re: What is the best sealant for sealing motor mount holes? I like that, "Sinks Don't"!! Really, I figured regular silicone would not be appropriate. Never replaced a motor myself, so knew I should ask! I looked into specs of 3M 5200, I see where it works on motor mounts on fiberglass...

    What is the best sealant for sealing motor mount holes?

    I usually use pure silicone for most water tight sealing requirements. What is the best sealant for sealing motor mount holes during motor replacement? After all, we're not sealing the kitchen sink!

    1979 Evinrude 85 hp Model # 85999c $800 is this high or low?

    Re: 1979 Evinrude 85 hp Model # 85999c $800 is this high or low? WOW!! Yes, the glasses again. 76 has a model #85693. So this could be a 76, 78 or 79, except the cowling is wrong for the 79 as is the lower unit #. 79 saw the cu increase, were 76 and 78 both 92.6 cu? My 74 115 has a lot of...
