Some will tell you that you use a marine grade silicone, but here's a money saving tip.
All marine grade silicone is is 100% silicone. You can get that at Home Depot a lot cheaper than you can buy marine grade for. GE make Silicone I and II. The difference being that one of them has a mildewcide in it (can't remember which one does).

Seal the pump...where?
Not the Bowl or Intake I hope, use the gaskets and slather on some white Lithium grease heavily...really;)
For the Transom to bowl seal/bead, I used the 3M product (I think)> 4200???

Transom
Some silicones are not meant for extended under water use...as clearly marked on the label.
I think the 3M product 4200 I used was a urethane...?
Which ever product you choose, use it sparingly as any parts coated with adhesive/sealant can be a p.i.t.a. to remove if/when needed.

Use the GE stuff marked for bathroom use(either Silicone I or II, I can't remember either). It comes in a gold caulking tube. A thin bead will seal well and is easily removed. When I go to remove the transom adapter, I run a razor blade around the bowl and use a flat wedge(a good putty knife works well) all the way around at the transom and the adapter pops right off.

Thru drill your loader bolt holes and tap the rest of the way thru. Then install longer bolts, and lock nuts on the top side.
