I wrote in recently about a heating up problem on plain. Don suggested I check the waterneck on the outdrive, due to the fact they may erode over time. Nice call Don ! I took the S-hose off and the neck lip was completely eroded away. I can't belive the hose stayed on. I have the replacement parts. My question is do I use any permatex or other sealer for the rubber neck gasket?<br /><br />P.S. Don, Great call Pal

Re: Sealing

No sealer, but do put a small amount of grease on the H bracket side of the seal. The H bracket itself is stationary, and the intermediat housing and the inside tube where that seal rides turns. The grease just lubes it a little when turning till the water takes over.
