DUMB ? does the B1 take a perimeter gasket?
 

Buddy just picked up a kit, it is o rings only( know where they go). but i could have sworn that it also got a perimeter gasket as well( goes between the drive, drive hemet). Thanks

Nope.

The alpha takes a gasket. Bravo doesn't. Crazy! I siliconed the perimeter.

I put a little RTV on the round one at the drive oil passage, they tend to leak there, not sure I would do the whole thing as it may keep the o-rings from sealing.

Just use a little grease on the o-rings to keep them in place and help them seal.

Exactlyn no silicone anywhere on an outdrive.

fixx
 

yep orings and the drive seals on the end of the rubber ujoint bellow..take a look at the end of the bellow,,you will see a indentation from the drive..

If in doubt, just wrap one layer of Gorilla Tape around it once installed.
:lolhit:

Thanks guys, we put it on. I am aware of the alpha ones getting them, even scoped out a the bravo's ones on the fountain, sure enough no gasket, thats strange, I have NEVER paid any attention to it.
