    2L 150hp merc

    Does anyone use gasket sealer on head gaskets around the water passages and if so what brand do you use?

    Motor has never been hot, just wondering if sealant is needed around the water jacket edges.

    I use permatex spray copper on my auto related stuff when theres questionable surfaces due to corrosion or abrasion and whatnot. Sometimes when cyl heads are kicking around a while they can get scratched up. The stuff works great for these little issues and I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a questionable boat motor gasket or surface.
