Bought a new outboard gas tank (plastic). Bought the OMC fitting (brass). The female end on the tank is a black plastic material. The male end that screws into the tank and then accepts the OMC gas line is brass. Do I screw the brass fitting into the plastic housing with or without some sort of pipe dope or teflon tape? What is the recommended process? If some product is advised to seal the threads, what would be compatible with plastic, brass, and gasoline? Maybe I am fine without any sealer? Thanks.

We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
