Default Re: Sealing the V 20 deck cap to the hull

When I got my bracket, it was used, and had some glass from the last boat it was on ;)

I agree, I always put some in my hair and smear it on my crotch too.

Only for bracket work on the crotch because inevitably I end up humping it outta respect for Hammer. ::)

Had my cap up a coupla years ago (wish I'd had camera back then ::))...used about 75 SS screws to refasten ... ran the screws in to get everything aligned, but did not tighten ... went around entire gap w/ 4 tubes of 4200 ... let cure, then went back and tightened all screws ... then reattached rub-rail w/ another 75 screws ;D ... she TIGHT now!!... 8) ...

Reel, you used 4200 instead of 5200? *You're a smart, smart man... * ;) *

I also like your idea of leaving it loose while letting the 4200 skin over and then snug it up - I bet that it's sealed very well now.

I have water coming in mine, not sure from were?

Funny story, we were in big water one day and there is water running down he side of the liner, the guy with me kept staring at it, I was laughing to myself with the look on his face!
He then see me looking at him and with this concerned voice says "Is that supose to do that?"
I almost busted a gut laughing so hard!!! I said we will be just fine! But he never stoped looking at it the whole way home ;D

The idea of lettin' the sealant cure B4 final tightening the screws actually came from Ship Shape TV...and as I's goin' around torquin' all of 'em down, it was pretty clear it was closin' up the seam REEL well ;) ...
