? on thermostat replacement?

[tony6813]

I bought a thermostat replacement kit for my 89 90 hp evinrude. My ?? is do I need to use any permetex sealant on any of the gaskets provided in the kit? Do I just reassemble and tighten? What about the 2 rubber hoses on the ends. Should i use sealent there too?

I use a very little on the gasket. Barely any. None at all would be better if you are not sure. You don't want any squishing out inside covering the little hole.
