Installed for more than 6 months. No water intrusion.
Stripped down, baked, and walnut shell blasted the housing.
I installed these new parts;
drain and timing plug crush washers
starter bushing
rope & molded handle
gasket
hair thin pawl return spring
plastic spool bushing
The housing to block gasket is needed to keep the starter Bendix from bottoming in the recoil housing. You may be able to use it without a gasket but my Bendix bound up against the bottom of the starter bushing hole in the housing. A gasket also keeps it dry so, if you don't use a gasket, you'll need RTV or something close to it.
The gasket, one-piece handle/rope, and the crush washers on the drain and timing plugs keep water out of the housing. I wipe a little grease on the nipple and in the handle when I grease the A arms so it seals well on the nipple. I typically hear a pressure equalizing whoosh when I pull the handle off the nipple.
I lightly greased the spool bushing, clockspring, and the engagement pawl parts.
The top housing in the picture is from a 1998 Magnum 330 (according to the eBay copy). That'd be a Polaris 3087054 recoil assembly.
The bottom housing in the picture is the stock cover with the unmachined rope and drain plug bosses at the same positions you'd find them on a Polaris 3090085 recoil assembly.
Yes no powder coat... being lazy.

The nipple on the 3087054 & 3085856 is clocked more toward the top than the 3090085.
The 3085856 is canted out away from the engine as well as clocked toward the top. Only pics I have of that one are installed... It keeps my hand further away from the sharp edge of the exhaust shield but I'm still careful.
