Good info, Gene.

What would you use to reseal a deck hatch on your Grady? I'm getting the
generator pulled and replaced next week. I need to reseal the rear hatch
cover.

On a Grady White website, they're saying that the dealers use GE Silicone
II
Kitchen & Bath in either white or Almond. Sound right to you?


Sounds like a good plan to me, because it's adhesive qualities are
minimal, so you'll seal the hatch cover, as opposed to gluing it.


One idea posted on that website is to place a piece of 125lb mono down
before placing the silicone caulking, paying attention to leave a small
piece of the mono accessible in one of the corners. This way, you can pull
up the mono to slice through the silicone the next time you need to remove
the hatch cover.


That's a cool trick! I love stuff like that.
