Thank you Alan. That helps a lot.  Janet Sent from my iPhone On Oct 31, 2025, at 12:44 AM, ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:  It depends on whether anyone has tightened the tracks and rail, and how much they tightened them. If you have leaks, just tighten the nuts around the leaks. You don't have to tighten every screw/nut combination. My boat is forty-one years old. I tightened all the nuts many years ago, and the leaks never returned. I guess thel sealant is still there.

The reason you turn the nut, rather than the screw - turning the screw can create more leaks. Don't over tighten or you'll squeeze out the sealant.

Instead tighten them. Have someone hold the screw with a screwdriver while you tighten the nut from below. Don't over tighten the nuts.

Looks like complete removal is bad idea, tightening better. How about removing fasteners and adding a little of the Dow 795 in the hole before replacing and tightening? Yes? No? Alternative? Thanks!
