1985 (1987) 15 hp Thermostat Cover Torque Value Needed

[vettenuts]

I have a 1987 15 hp Evinrude that has the earlier design thermostat cover. Unfortunately, my service manual doesn't cover this early design and therefore I don't have torque values for the bolts. Does anyone have an earlier manual with the torque value and need for sealant? What sealant can be used?

Thanks. Checked that web site and the values for the water cover weren't there, although he does show a photo of the cover he doesn't cover the installation.
