Default Exhaust Tips

Putting new angle tips on my boat. I've seen they make a gasket for this installation or should I just use 4200?

Installing mine with the sealant. I think better seal with the 4200 vs gasket. Coating bolt holes also.

Using a gasket or rubber seal and just using sealant the bolt holes will make it a lot easier if you ever have to remove them.

Also any tricks for removing the old tips that have the sealant between the flange and the transom?

Just hope some clown didn't use 5200. They should come off fairly easy. Use a block of wood and hammer.

Pretty sure it is 4200. It is still plyable. I guess get inside the bilge with a block of wood and hammer and tap them out?

Stick 2x4 in from inside and pry up and down a little to break the bond.

I was thinking more of rocking them back and forth from outside with a hammer against a block of wood or like "pitts' said. They should come off pretty easy if not 5200. A little heat never hurts but you might not need it.

Just juming in to say be careful if you use a heat gun (the commercial style) because you don't want the area around the ring to get to hot.

If it does... "Pop" all of a sudden, the area will start to "blister" from the heat.

Especially if the transom is painted...
