I re-bedded my entire deck ('76 c&c 38 MkII) in 2004, every fitting, ports,
hatches, everything but the deck/hull joint, with that butyl rubber. I like
it cause if you need to take anything off, it's easy. Yet it still provides
a great seal. My tracks have not leaked yet, 10k ocean miles and nearly 10
years later. I like those sealers as well, and I use them but not on deck.
In my experience they would pull the gelcoat right off if I need to remove
the fitting.

I hate to rain on a parade - well maybe not, but butyl tape was used to seal
our 1970's C&C 's hull to deck joints. It's a pain in the arse!
There is a lot better stuff been invented since the '70's.
Nobody uses butyl tape except those guys that buy the stuff off that guy on
sailnet.
Get a grip people!
Sikaflex / 4200 / 5200 and lots of other sealers are waaay better than
butyl.
