What we do if we aren't sure if the height is going to be correct is to initially use silicone. Once we have determined the correct height, we clean off the silicone and use 5200.
I don't think we ever got more than 2 years benefit out of the silicone.

5200 all the way.... I'd skip the silicone.... if you don't get it all out it will weaken the seal of the 5200..... My suggestion is to just hang the motor w very little sealant if you are unsure. Then pull and reseal when you have it right.

i have used both, i use 5200 on below water line stuff and permanent installs.
i use 4200 above water line and for non permanent install, it will remove easier works for me!

both 5200 and 4200 are Ok below water line, I use life caulk on motor bolts. I've had to hook a motor to a tree and the trailer to a truck to separate the two when it was 5200'd on. The only place I use 5200 is if i NEVER plan to remove it. 4200 or life caulk do fine for below water line
