I have 2 water pumps for this motor. One with a solid aluminum housing and one with a plastic housing.
Neither pump had a gasket between the pump housing and the wear plate. (I also have a pump from a 1974 70 Hp that has no gasket.
There is no big o-ring like some pumps have and there are no remnants of sealant.
Pictures of the rebuild kit do not show a gasket or o-ring.
Should there be a gasket or sealant or nothing? Wear plate to pump housing.
Should there be sealant on the bottom of the wear plate? Wear plate to lower unit case.
