Ah Scott, thanks!! Auto parts. Great suggestion.
I found an article about sealing pipe threads for hose barb fittings from Jamestown Distributors.

See this article . They talk about using the wrong kind of Teflon tape and how it’ll break off and clog the fuel filter, pump or carb.

To replace the outboard while the boat is in the water:
1. Buy about 10' of 1" web strap or use 3/8" rope and fashion a harness around the motor and use a washcloth or small hand towel to cushion the grip section. Back the boat in the slip so the motor is next to the dock. With all connections disconnected, and a preferably strong friend to help, lift the outboard off the bracket and bring it to temporary rest on the dock. At this point the lower unit can still be in the water. Next pull it the rest of the way onto the dock and out of the way. Reverse sequence to install the new motor. Helps to have another person in the boat to guide the motor bracket onto the mount.
If you have to do this yourself, be sure to let your legs do most of the lifting effort. Remember, you are not bench pressing 100 lbs, just a short lift and drag onto the dock, and back in again.
