That’s called plumber’s tape. If it was pulled tight and maybe with stainless washers added, it might do it. I’m with Skunk - finding something that will work is part of the fun of beating a problem into submission.

Personally, I'm tired of always trying to find something because it's no longer available or if it is available everyone wants 10x what is should cost because it's rated for marine use. I mean, come on, a brass valve is a brass valve, etc.

The cost for a new outboard has gone through the roof because they know that everyone wants a new 4 stroke, etc. In reality if a new outboard costs $20,000 I would bet money that it really on.y cost $5000 to make, transport, etc. It's disgusting.

That's my rant for the day.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
