Powerhead to Adapter Gasket
Hello all, I have a Johnson 1985ish 200 looper. I'm in a small time crunch to get the boat in the water. Anyway I am changing mid section length and need the gasket between the powerhead and adapter/tuner section. Has anyone used just some high temp gasket silicon or something similar?

I would definitely not do that. The gasket is pretty thick, not sure RTV would do the trick. In a pinch when I was in a similar situation but the gasket was back-ordered I made my own from a roll of aramid sheet gasket, gasket punches, and an old one as a template. It actually worked fine.

Thanks for the responses. I thought I would need the gasket sooner but as usual a couple of rusted bolts got in the way. The gasket is supposed to come in today so hopefully its the right one.
