Not at the boat so unable to check directly, but would the R&D flexible coupling supplied with my Beta 38 (WOC K35616) have come with an earthing conductor? Of course, I still need to verify installation even if the earthing conductor is supplied as standard, but I am still trying to figure out wh...

The coolant fitting on the bottom of the heat exchanger on my Beta 38 was quite loose, though not leaking. Now reconnecting everything after lifting the engine, any special thread sealant to use on these fittings? Would some basic, teflon-loaded, temperature-rated pipe sealant be fine?

Thanks for your help.

The cap was quite tightly snugged down and there has never been any dripping or other obvious evide...
