What sealant to use replacing windows.

Post by Captain Zach »

Proud new owner of a c22 pictures coming soon. This is such a great resource, read through hundreds of threads already. Excited to get this beauty wet. I need to replace a window and redo the seals on a few pieces of hardware on the deck What sealant is good for this?
In addition some of my rails are loose. What’s the best method for securing the rails. Epoxy the hole and re-drill?

Welcome! 3M5200 is by far the best marine sealant on the planet. For areas where you foresee needing to remove later, butyl caulk works well. Comes in gray. Do you mean the toe rail or the stanchion posts are loose? Posts some pix.
