I've got one I can refer you to in Louisville,ky. A few hours from you, but the work he does is better than any I've ever laid eyes on.

Awesome send me contact! I don’t mind traveling!!

I'll message you all of his info later today. At work now on my 4 midnights and no phones allowed inside the plant.

Thank for the info !
ok so doing final install on transom stuff this week I got new seals for transom assembles. Was thinking maybe a little sealer on the foam seal that touches the transom ? Or just grease thoughts ?

if it’s anything like merc, they go on dry. bellows adhesive to keep the ring in place.

we always put a bead of silcone on them because transoms are not that flat.

While I have not replaced many transom assembly's the 4 I've done where dry and never a leak

Don't think much of silly cone under water, never last

Thanks ! Yea I agree about transoms. I’m not a big fan of silcone on anything under water myself. I did get new seals so In theory they should seal any imperfections in the transom. I was thinking maybe some bellow adhesive? Spent the entire day chasing down some fittings and small odds and ends on the engines.

If your transom isn’t flat…you likely have bigger issues.

Spent some time going over engines for final assembly before install ironed out some wiring and oil hoses ect
