Hi im new at being a boat mechanic so am asking a couple questions to see if im heading in the rite dirrection. First question can I use the blk silicone that comes in a tube to seal the wet exhaust riser elbo gaskets ? Second question im replacing the gear lube in my omc outdrives and wanting to use synthetic I picked up some volvo/pinta 75 - 90 wt synthetic did I get the correct oil ? The boat is an 88 liberator with twin 460 Ford King Cobras and OMC outdrives Thanks for all your help in advance Gregg |

Hi Gregg, Hope it's all going well... The VP synthetic lube is fine as long as it's GEAR lube (75W-90 IS gear lube.....Some VP drives didn't use gear lube I think) Riser gaskets usually don't use sealant (at least on a Mercruiser) The OMC service manual doesn't mention any type of sealant on the riser gasket. If you have riser gaskets that have a silvery coating on them they go on dry. Cheers, Rick |

Thanks Rick I just got all the parts and havent looked at them yet looks like the oil is good to go wich brings up another problem 1 source says 72 oz another says 108 guess I will find out soon enough ? It looks like 1 of the riser has a bluish silicone on it mabe it was used instead of a gasket again will see when I take it apart. I should have it out for the 4th of July week I will let you know how it went. Thanks Again Take Care Gregg |
