I just did mine and I confess that I used silicone on the screw threads
since I had it out and had been using it to re-mount the teak slide rails to
the plexiglass. I don't usually have silicone on the boat because I don't
find it very effective, but it was the only thing that would look right in
this case. Normally I would use 4200 or 4000uv. In this case the screw
penetrations are under the hood and not likely to get hit with a lot of
water anyway, so I figured it would be good enough. I did put a drop of
Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure on the screw heads, as I have found
that stuff to help with window leaks, and deck leaks in general.

Subject: Stus-List Companionway hood
A couple of the screws are loose on my companionway hood, so I am planning
on removing it and giving it a good cleaning (and cleaning the gunk
underneath it).
What type of sealant should i put into the screwholes when I put it back on?
4200? Silicon? Any advice would be appreciated.
There seemed to be quite the debate a few years ago about whether to seal
the entire underside or not. Mine only appears to have sealant around the
screws and i don't have any leaks (at least not around the companionway!) ,
so I'll probably stick with that method.
Thanks,
