transom

[77'240srvray]

I'm getting ready to insall my new transom seal; got to thinking I should probably get some experienced folks to steer me in the right direction. I'm wondering if it's okay to use a windshield and glass sealant (Silicone) between the hull and the transom seal. thanks in advance!!

working on my 77 srv24' omc sterndrive sea ray. last time took her out i stated taking on water; turned out the transom seal had a hole in it so now I'm wanting to replace it but i don't want to use the wrong sealant between the hull and the transom seal boot. what about a polyurethane sealant, is it safe to use on fiberglass and rubber?

Re: transom

I have used Life-Calk Sealant by Boat Life and it worked great.
A long lasting, permanently flexible marine polysulfide sealant which can be sanded, painted, and used above and below the waterline. Tack-free in 1 to 3 days, excellent resistance to teak oils, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Ideal for teak decks, to bed deck and hull hardware, seal thru-hull fittings, and underwater seams. Will bond to fiberglass, rubber metal, glass and itself. Cures to a firm flexible rubber seal with excellent waterproofing and adhesion qualities. Can be applied underwater for emergency repairs. Can be applied to damp surfaces.
