For what it is worth:
I'l support: Awoid silicone and use tape.

Using tape is a must. But why the aversion against silicone? I mean, it's
not the ordinary silicone houshold stuff we're talking about. This stuff is
specially designed for decks. I remember an article in Woodenboat about this
and they where very enthousiastic about it.
