In the past, assembling 280 drives I used Evinrude/Johnson Sealing compound, or Mercruiser Perfect Seal between the upper/intermediate and intermediate/lower aluminum surfaces OUTSIDE of the O-rings. This seemed to work well.
Assembling a DP drive the manual calls for Volvo White Sealing Compound P/N 1141570-0 between these surfaces and AROUND the O-rings and surfaces of the entire lower unit carrier assembly. Will Perfect Seal work here? I have read that some people use grease here, but I fear grease may cause the O-rings to slip out of position during assembly.
Thoughts?
Thanks
