SMX sea water pump

[Bob Patterson]

When changing the hose fittings from the Sherwood 1730 to the new SMX pump,do you put any kind of sealant on the face of the hose fitting where it mounts to the pump body?Also what about the gasket and o-ring where you bolt it to the engine?Leave it dry or put on sealant?Thanks Bob
Here’s another topic all together. I sent a post the other day and realized after it was sent I had sent it in the (no forum) box.What happens to it then ? I do know it didn’t get to the forum.Bob

We like to use a little grease on the seawater pump o-rings and sealing surfaces… anything is better than dry. On the flange gasket, it’s really your call… dry is okay or a little rectorseal / grease may help to not rip the gasket when you remove the pump down the road.
