Default Re-bedding a genoa track


I'm of mixed emotions on this one....if there is a simple answer I overlooked vs
not.....

I removed the port genoa track due to leaks. I found that there were two
overlapping holes for each mounting bolt. I think it was a factory error.
I've drilled the holes oversize, and will fill them with epoxy...when it quits raining.

Now the question: What is the best way to remount the track and seal it?
The aft end of the track has a pretty good bend in it when mounted, although
it's nearly straight when off.
Should I start at one end, positioning, drilling, and sealing as I go?
Is filling the bolt hole with sealent then inserting the bolt sufficient?
If I try to smear the underside of the track, I'll just smear sealent all over
the deck while messing with it. Also, as soon as I take the positioning
pressure off the track, the mounting bolt will lay against one side of the hole,
which wories me a bit.

Would it be better to use a few bolts to position the track, then drill the rest?

How would you guys do it?

Thanks,
Norm B
