Centerboard caps don't leak when installed properly. Something isn't 
matching up properly or you didn't follow the proper tightening procedure. I 
would only use a sealant as a last resort.

just the gasket - lots of leaks! Maybe there was a problem with the form
that was used to make the CB trunk & cap in those days.

Wow....I just splashed my boat for the first time simply to see if the new
center board gasket I installed was water proof. It wasn't....water poured
in as if there was nothing there. I tightened all the screws but this only
slowed down the in-flow a little. Stan is adamant that no silicon should be
used to seal the gasket, but apart from this I can't figure a way to seal
this. Any suggestions?
