Water pump impeller change

Going to changing out the impeller on a F115 and was wondering if anyone actually uses the Yamabond on the O-rings and the Loctite 562(?)on the bolts. I can not locate the Loctite shown in the service manual. I have seen a couple of You Tube videos and they say to apply marine grade grease to the O-rings and bolts. No one seems to be using the Loctite or Yamabond. Any replies will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Thanks for the info. I kinda figured that grease would work just to hold the O-rings in place during assembly. And why wouldn't Yamaha recommend some anti-seize compound for the bolts instead of a thread locker? (That is not available anyway?) I do have some moly grease for the drive shaft and shifter splines. Have to use on the rear wheel splines on my motorcycle when re-installing after a tire change.
