Using Sealant when Replacing Impeller

[kipawa]

I am changing the impeller on my evinrude big twin (40 hp). Is it recommended to use a sealant when reassembling the housing and plate. it looks like there may have been a very thin layer of some type of sealant. If so what is recommended ?
Thank you,

Re: Using Sealant when Replacing Impeller

I've used the recommended OMC Adhesive M. But last time I did my 115hp Jonno, I used 3M Scotch Grip Rubber & Gasket Adhesive 847. Both worked fine for me, just need to handle with care and don't use too much (can get very messy)
