    I am replacing the deck winch switches on my 307. What is the best bedding sealant to use for this? Back in my sailing days, we used silicone sealants to bed winches, etc. to the deck. Is 4200 the recommended product for this? Thanks.

    Sealant advice

    Good morning. One of the cupholders in the back of my Fisherman 216 jarred loose (my fault) and it is held in by just a clear sealant. I am sure that water will leak in to the interior/bilge. Until now my bilge is dry as a bone. I need to reseal it. What should I use? Thanks
