Default Caulk

I need to do some caulking on my 1991 V20. There are several areas where caulk is used between panels, below the rub rail, etc. Any suggestions on what type of caulk I should use? Is what I am seeing caulk or is it 4200 or 5200 silicone adhesive/sealant?

Have found better results with 5200 over 4200.
If you need it to set up quickly use the fast cure.

My rule is, if it is under water I is 5200

If you want it to last forever 5200

If you need to get something off later, 4200

Caulk, the stuff that gets everywhere except where it was intended to be.

For stuff like a rube rail I would use a good Marine Silicon caulk.
