I'm a novice on a steep learning curve changing the water pump on my '76 'Rude for the first time. There does not appear to be a gasket between the impeller plate and the body of the lower unit on this model.
Has anyone had any issues with this? Is it a good idea to make up a gasket? I was just going to use the brush on Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket sealant.
I'm putting quite a few hours into it so would like to make sure it's done properly.
Would also like to know which seals are the most common culprits, if any, for water getting into the lower unit.
Any advice very much appreciated!
