      Just our of curiosity, collectorinspector, why don’t you like RTV? Seems to me that if the name of the game is to be able to remove the powerhead without needing a new gasket each time, RTV on one surface might be good, as it seals but is not a very strong adhesive….

        quote pugetsoundboater:

        You do not want to use anti sieze with copper on Aluminum in it due to the galvanic corrosion/dissimilar metals issue. I use Jet Lube Marine Grade Non Metallic Anti sieze.Fastenal stocks it. Locktite makes one also.

        Thanks. The local Fastenall did not seem to have it, so I ordered some from Amazon.
