Impeller cover mountings

[Alankay]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick bit of input if possible. I pulled the leg off my motor last week and was going to replace the impeller. I noticed that one of the 4 threads that secure the impeller cover was stripped. I was going to helicoil and replace the bolts with stainless.

I have heard that stainless and aluminum should not go together in this situation. Any recommendations appreciated,.

Thanks
Alan

Go ahead and use stainless bolts.-------There are just too many tall tales in the outboard world.
