Sealing leaks

[FREY]

Got a leak in this perfect spot just right behind the power panel! Cany anybody drop some tips on how to access and rebed the toe rail and stanchions, or suggestions for sealing it from the deck side?

@FREY to get a quick sealing, you need to make sure to clean the area around the leak, then apply the sealant, use a flexible, marine-grade sealant

To gain access, you'll need to take off the interior panel to get to the backing plates. Make sure to thoroughly clean off all the old sealant, then reapply using 3M 4200 or butyl tape. It's important to work the sealant into the threads and seal it from both the deck and the underside to ensure everything is watertight

3M 4200 or butyl are great choices for sealing and staying flexible. Just coat the threads well and tighten everything up when you put it back together.
