NEED HELP IN REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF TRANSOM SEAL FOR 1985 OMC 800 I/O. HOW DOES THE SEAL ATTACH TO THE INTERMEDIATE HOUSING?

" take out all the screws on the seal. When you pull back you will find a hose clamp on the inside. loosen the clamp and remove the seal. You can cut off the old seal, you can work the new seal over the outdrive to put it on. Hint mark the screw holes with a pencil they are hard to find sometimes with the sealer on. Use no sealer under the hose clamp. "

" I have a related question on this, and that is what if any kind of sealant should be applied to the portion of this seal that lies on the transom surface? I had an old seal that was leaking and had it replaced by a dealer. The new one appears to still leak, although not as bad... just seaps. Also, what about tightening of the screws? I am concerned that it is possible to overtighten and thus strip these screw holes in the transom, and thereafter they won't hold properly. Thanks. "
