[Rhodes22-list] Through-Hull sealant

[Bob Keller]

Just wanted to thank the responses I received several weeks ago about the 
through-hull failures that I experienced.  Whoever recommended (I think it 
was Peter?) that I use 101 polysulfide was right on.  The previous sealant 
used was 3M 5200 and it must have cracked when the boat sat on the trailer 
with many people walking and working on the boat.  The polysulfide remains 
very flexible after it cures and appears to be ideal for a trailerable boat. 
  Just trailered 600 miles and sailed hard and the boat remains completely 
dry.

I also sealed the water tank (rubbermaid container) lid with silicone 
sealant and it no longer leaks into the bilge when the boat heels.

Thanks again.
