The answer is both yes and no. Yes, there are silicone gasket makers that work similarly to OEM gaskets and only require a simple application to keep your boat and engine functioning. There are also gasket maker kits, where you can use a template and special tools to etch out a gasket to fit your particular usage. Bear in mind that making your own gasket from a template requires special tools and the right gasket material, so be sure to consult your owner’s manual or an experienced marine mechanic for what works best for you. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNever mix\/match marine sealants and adhesives. While these products may serve the intended purpose in a pinch, long-term usage can spell disaster when an adhesive needs to be removed and can’t be (or a sealant unexpectedly fails during operation). For example, a hydraulic sealant is meant to withstand the high pressure needed for operation of your trim and tilt motor, but can clog internal passageways if you use it as a water pump sealant or a fuel pump gasket sealer.
