Thread lock on every bolt and screw

Assembling my 1993 Evinrude E5

Assembling my 1993 Evinrude E50JETB tonight.

Shop manual calls for threadlocker on some screws but not all.

Follow the manual and torque to spec or blue all threads whether the manual calls for it or not?

Please advise.

Thanks

I'm using a torque wrench

I'm using a torque wrench and torquing them to spec...

Just wondering if I should slap blue on ALL fasteners or just the ones the manual calls for.

Is the threadlocker just to prevent intrusion or to fight vibration loosening the fasteners?
