when screwing down captains chair etc into the deck, what is recommended as a waterproofing material to inject into the holes prior to screw insertion? silicone caulk, 3m 4200 ???

The best I have found is life caulk. I have used it in bedding rail stantions, fittings and gunnale. Even Walmart sells it in out location.

I put two new todd chairs topside on my f32 this Spring--always have used life chaulk--put in the screw holes, around the screw before drilling, and around the edges of the base before and after I put it down--let it set up for a while and cleaned all

not to change the subject .... but how'd you like the chairs fpawn1?

Don't ever use 5200 unless your plan is to NEVER having to remove it.

Life caulk is good...

I fully agree with Stripermann. 5200 is great, and you could probably use the stuff to mount your engines, but if you ever need to remove it, youll need a torch, jackhammer and grinder.
