I just bought a nice used alpha transom assembly for my boat and the guy used 4200 in the groove where the big rubber seal goes. Any ideas how to remove the 4200 from the groove? Its impossible to get a razor blade in there...

It was never installed so I guess I dont HAVE to remove it but... the rubber seal is still nice and new/round. Im just not sure if he used enough 4200 to seal it up(Im sure you dont even need the 4200). I just like doing things myself and then I know it was done right... and on this kind of job I want to be sure. You dont swap out transom assemblies very often.... :D

Are you sure it's 4200 and not 5200. 5200 is intended to be used underwater.
