Joel,
 
I’ve used butyl tape for a deck hatch, baby stay track and pedestal guard deck 
mount brackets.  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:

  It is available from http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/butyl_tape.
 
Good luck,
Ron

All,

 

I'll be replacing the front hatch with a Lewmar hatch.  Which sealant should I 
use?  Sikaflex, Lifecaulk, something else?

 

I need to overdrill, epoxy and redrill the new screw holes, correct?
