Exhaust to Gimbal Connection

[beta]

I'm getting towards the end of a restore on a '95 Crownline (see thread) and have a question about the exhaust connection to the gimbal housing. The service manual does not show any kind of adhesive or liquid gasket being applied but mine clearly had something applied. I have the replacement gasket on order but should I be applying something in addition? I have Permatex Ultra Blue handy but not sure if I should apply it (or something else) or just leave it dry. I have not cleaned up the surfaces yet but there are no obvious issues with the surfaces.

Are you changing out all the cables and such as well while it is out and apart?

is that just to hold the oring/gasket in place?

It just list to use it, no mention of how much
I would probably use a liberal amount, won't hurt

Thanks! I also see it now in the materials list but no mention of it in the instructions. There was a good bit of whatever was on it originally (I assume it was the sound blanket glue) so I'll do the same with bellows adhesive.

I've replaced the shifter cable, bellows, piping, etc so should be good there. I do have to replace a few of the studs in the housing as they were rusted out from the transom water intrusion, hence the restore.

Lower shift cable as well?

The cable seen in your first photo with the white wrap around it....The lower shift cable runs to the drive from the engine...Item number 10, https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassemblydetail/46032792/28179843

OK, that's what I referred to as the shifter cable in my post. I replaced it 2 years ago so all good. Thanks for the clarification.

Just at this point, replave what you can while apart. Couple buck extra but why not.
