OOPS! I misstyped. What I mean't to say was:

"Filling the area with silicon probably would NOT provide a good job since
the silicon wouln't necessarily fill the entire area."

Actually, I doubt if sillicon would be stiff wough to provide proper support
anyway.

Sorry,

When we bought the boat there were only a few wedges in place, not
enough
for proper support. I understand how the SparTite system works but is
there another system that would work? Say just filling the partner with
silicon, would this allow to much flexing? How firm is the SparTite after
it sets?, does it allow some movement or does it harden as a solid
rubber?

Spartite is great stuff. Yhere are two varieties. One is pretty firm, the
other is less so. I have the form one. It has been in place for 5 years
now with no leaks or problems
