I use it around the screws that hold the original 1973 plexi hatches into the frames and it works perfect for that. Do remember it is like water and cannot plug a big leak.

Of course the best thing to do is to remove the offending deck fitting and re-bed. I use Butyl tape, that's definitely a "Once and for all" solution. But since I've got the re-bedding projects pretty far down the list of priorities.. I use Captain Tolleys. It basically looks like carpenter's glue but with the consistency of very thin CA glue. You just pour it / wick it around the area where you are suspecint It creeps and wicks into every crack just like rain water does and as it dries it seals the issue. Last year I went around the boat and fixed 6 or 7 minor leaks and it worked fine / is still tight. This year I had a pretty bad leak on the V-Berth main hatch.. Same thing, the issue is fixed until I get around to sending it off to replace the crazed lens and re-bed it correctly. This way I can focus my time on the must have stuff and just use the boat..
