Thanks for your responses! Dennis - yes it’s the coaming I’m talking about - didn’t have the right words - ok I will look into using captain tolleys. I’m going to be using that anyway to seal up some leaks around the tie rail. My dad suggested Life Sealant. Bruce - re the butyl, it was squeezed out between the cast aluminum and the wood coaming, and when it is hot it would just ooze and stick to people, clothes, sails, etc. And then there was the leaky corners. Both may have been a problem of improper installation by me the decade ago when I first did it or using a tape that was too wide to start with. I’ve now been recommended Life Sealant for this purpose too which sounds like a good bet if I can get it all cleaned up and off first. Thanks for the tip on the other stuff too!

What sealant would you choose for these two jobs ? 1 shoring up the seal between the wood frame and the deck on us front hatch ? I can’t get the wood frame off so I’m just going to have to take off the extra old sealant stuff off that I can and try to make a good new seal around the outside. 2. Sealing the cast aluminum hatch to the wood frame - butyl is no good! C&C35 Mk 1.
