I'm changing out my impeller on an Alpha Gen II. I've followed the directions to the letter and didn't have any problems. My marine store which usually has given me excellent advice told me that instead of using the Perfect Seal on the large hole gasket as recommended in the manual, I can just use 2 4 C lube as I already had it and it's much, much cheaper. That's what I have done but am just looking for some advice that that is a suitable substitution. I haven't filled it back up with gear lube yet, and just want to be sure the 2 4 C will work before finisihing up. Any advice would be appreciated.
