What goes on the bolt threads in the jet drive?

[Lumps]

I am getting to the point I need to reassemble the jet drive on my boat. here is my question, I know I cannot just put the bolts back in (or I assume I can't). The manual says red Loctite on some of the threads. I really don't want to do that

then for others it says "perfect seal". I really don't know what to do since the bolts that came out have various substances on them, none have had red Loctite so far (there are still 4 bolts I have not removed). some are covered in this goopy dark grey substance others have had a drop of hardened green stuff.

Can anyone provide any guidance?

I was going to use medium strength loctite (blue). When i pull bolts out there were no evidence of any kind of thread locker from previous services. I had to use breaker bar to undo 8 bolts.

Yes on mine too. There was just a small glob of green which I assumed was special lube 101. I am leaning towards blue locktite too

I would recommend some anti-seize lube.

I would recommend some anti-seize lube.

This is a hard to thing to do as the bolts cal for some sort of locker liquid. I have put anti-seize on the threads near the head of the bolt as I had HOPED it would help with corrosion. And put the red or blue liquid on the bottom of the bolt so it would lock as called for.

Lumps,

How much are you reassembling? Did you just do oil change or you had your drive rebuild?

I am taking off the stator and wear rings. My wear ring needs repair. In am going to try the jb weld method
