I have always used an anti-seize compound

I actually race homing pigeons so I don't have the hatred for pigeons like others. Get a hawk or owl statue and put it on the boat and move it around. That should keep them away.

I did have a sea trial on a Voyager 247, the predecessor of the Journey 258, that had a OX66 250 on it. From what I remember, cruise speed was around 26 mph, but I don't think that it topped out any higher than 35 mph.
