It did the job and remains pliable forever. The hardest part of rebidding was to remove the old sealant which cracks with age. My understanding is some 3M products adhere to the gelcoat better than the gelcoat adheres to the fiberglass. I worked a sharpened putty knife between the item and the deck so as to cut the sealant. Here’s a great article on using butyl tape: http://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?threads/bedding-deck-hardware-with-bed-it-butyl-tape.117172/#post-705340. It is available from http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/butyl_tape.

Which sealant should I use? Sikaflex, Lifecaulk, something else? I need to overdrill, epoxy and redrill the new screw holes, correct?
