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?



I don't know what Grady used as a sealant (glazing, actually) during
the era of my boat's manufacture, but it was akin to some sort of
gooey, incredibly sticky, asphaltic putty. It was a bitch to remove.

As to the Silicone.... I've been told not to do that, but since I
rarely listen to others in such matters, that is what I used to seal
my leaky cuddy window. I was assured that it would begin to leak
within months, if not weeks. It didn't. About three years later, it is
still performing fine and has not yellowed or leaked.

Maybe there is a little useful info he

I saw where you sealed up your wife in the cuddy, Gene. You're not going
to get away with that if you publish the photos!

We're having what the weather guys call "ice pellets" now, on top of about
2" of new snow and a bit of rain. Ice pellets apparently are not the same
as hail.



Those damn PC folks. The next thing you know they will be calling Christmas
the 'winter holiday'. ;-)
