What to use on Motor Mount bolts?

[surferdude345]

Putting my engine back in, and i got new mounts what should i put on the bolts from the mount to the hull and the bolts from the engine to the mount? Thread sealent, Locktite, or anti-seeze

I asked Paul from JR Magoo's this very question and he told me to put nothing on them, Before that I used to put loctite blue on them.

alright then nothing it its.. thanks

 

[feartheride]

loctite can't hurt ,it also acts as an antisieze

Here, let me clarify my statment to Mark, The hull fittings are brass & with a SS bolt, It's not nessary to use threadlocker on them, electrolisis isn't an issue, The bolts have mechanical loc washers attached.
On boats that are used primarilary in salt water, I use PST pipe sealant. The idea behind that is to seal water out entirely. It is also a great anti-seze.

ski ya, Paul

I'd use grease and/or thread sealant. I'm not worried about corrosion, (fresh water only) but it sure makes getting them out easier!

I ride in almost all salt water, i guess ill put some pipe sealent on the bolts
Thanks alot
