3.3 Deck/Hull Joint The hull-to-deck joint details are illustrated in Fig. 1. On assembly, the top of the hull flange is capped with butyl compound to which is fitted a vinyl rub rail topped by another layer of butyl compound. The deck is lowered onto the hull and fastened by means of stainless steel thru-bolts. When the bolts are tightened, the butyl compound in the joint is forced into the exposed crevices. It should be noted that if a leak should develop at the hull/deck joint, the thru-bolts in the area may be tightened, care being taken not to allow the bolt to turn while tightening the nut.
