    2.0L v-150 carb base/mounting gaskets part number?

    So I cleaned and rebuilt the carbs on my 1987 v-150 this past summer (didn't need it but it was time for a look). And I used the base mount gaskets in the carb kits I bought for the rebuild. So I have no more.

    But I subsequently built up a new manifold/reed block (Mercury calls it a reed block) with with Chris Carson reeds, and I want to swap the carbs over to that one. BUT neither the Mercury parts website nor the parts diagrams at iboats show or list these gaskets... the ones that mount the carburetor to the intake manifold (reed block, in Mercury parlance). There are many out there just googling, but it's hard to know which one has the right air hole in the right place, and I don't want to waste money buying a bunch of them to try out.

    I'm at a loss as to how to find the right gaskets. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction? A part number or something? And I'd pay extra for higher quality too. I've noticed the last 9 years since I became a boater, that there seems to be a difference in quality between some gasket types... or at least it looks like it to me.

    EDIT: I found this from ProMarine, that looks like it might be the right one. The question is, are their gaskets any good, or are the bottom of the barrel cheapos?

    Yes, that looks to be the correct gasket. Oem # 27-90430-1. The pro marine gaskets are good quality, use them all the time with no issues.
