OK upon reading the several responses; if Stanadyne is the manufacturers
recommendation, and others like Seafoam or Biobor; my question is; are these
products mutually exclusive? Or can they be mixed together? Should one red over
the other? Thanks...

Hi,
An email came out from Practical Sailor yesterday with a link pointing a
discussion on “The DIY Solent Stay or Inner Forestay”
Here is the link:

All,
I'll be replacing the front hatch with a Lewmar hatch. Which sealant
should I use? Sikaflex, Lifecaulk, something else?
I need to overdrill, epoxy and redrill the new screw holes, correct?

I did ours, and butyl tape worked great. Had to over drill and fill the old
holes yes, also found cracks where the liner and deck met, which were a source
of leaks, so fixed them with G2 Flex (if I remember correctly) which has a bit
of give in it. The new Lewmar’s actually matched the openings
I'll be using butyl when re-installing my hardware and ports. Don't forget to
use a chamfer bit on your drilled holes.

For a different opinion; 3M 4200... I used Lifecaulk when replacing
Mojito's hatches about four years ago and it worked fine, but have been
using 4200 for all deck hardware since on advice from a couple of yards.

There is a split opinion on using silicon on deck hardware. I believe that
butyl tape is best. But not all butyl tape was created equal. If you want to go
that way, I suggest using Compass Marine (I think $25 for 2 rolls that would
let you bed the entire deck to hull joint).

I don't know what fouling properties you have in your area, but a friend
left his J-24 rudder in the water for about five weeks and it took a scraper
and stiff brush to get the crud off it. I recommend some kind of
anti-fouling paint. Vivid?

I installed a Solent Stay on Corsair 6 years ago. Best thing I ever did for
offshore work.

Butyl tape is a good sealant but not a good gasket. For any component taking a
tensile (or compressive) load to the deck, if butyl tape is used, it will ooze
out of the joint under compressive loads and allow a gap to be created under
tensile loads--this is what makes it a poor gasket. A good
Unfortunately, I left the butyl tape I have on the boat for several years.

Joel,
I’ve used butyl tape for a deck hatch, baby stay track and pedestal guard deck
mount brackets. It did the job and remains pliable forever. The hardest part
of rebidding was to remove the old sealant which cracks with age. My
understanding is some 3M products adhere to the gelcoat be

That would be the 3M 5200; definitely not for bedding. 3200 is essentially
Silicone; 4200 a bit more adhesive than LifeCaulk, but removable.

Richard,
That's exactly the reason I stick to using one product designed and highly
rated as a lubricity additive. I then rely on turning over the fuel within
6 months to avoid growth. IMO Engines are designed to burn diesel not a
chemical cocktail.

When I re-bedded mine, (twice) I used 5200.
Right now a pack of angry wolves want to jump all over me for saying this, (BUT
DON’T!) because it works for me.
The reason I used 5200 is the rails get stepped on sideways quite often, and I

As many others, I used butyl tape from Compass Marine for the hatches on my

Thanks everyone! I'm ordering 2 rolls from Compass Marine. If anyone in
Annapolis needs one, let me know. I'll never use them both.

I had Dan Wood at Canvas Creations jn Annapolis make a custom dodger for my
37+. The real selling point for me was the hardtop made from Starboard and
the hard "glass" which facilitated some creative engineering around the
myriad of lines running aft and the port and stbd window hatches. He

Does anyone have a source for a spare plug for a solar vent? I want to

I use Stanadyne Performance Formula and Bio-bor. They have separate functions.
I follow the label instructions on each. No ill effects in 15 years of use.

I used butyl tape about five years ago. Works great, but does ooze out a
little. The tape I used was a little on the soft side. I think the new stuff
from pbase.com is a bit stiffer.

Put Calypso in the same group of butyl tape after the over drill and epoxy fill
process. For our foredeck hatch which is 33” x 33” we are upgrading to through
bolts as the deck sees more twist and flex around that larger deck opening.
