anywere that comes into contact with water should be replaced with a marine grade gasket <br /><br />i would not try to use a automotive gasket anywere on my boat unless there was no other choise<br /><br />tommays
Freshwater cooled - coolant is coolant, it incorporates rust inhibitors.<br /><br />Raw water cooled - Salt or fresh water doesn't matter, no rust or corrosion inhibitors although salt water is far more corrosive.<br /><br />Aldo
Ditto Bondo<br />I use Fel-pro from local auto parts store. I also have had a motor apart after years of use and found no problem with gaskets. All were raw water cooled.
