Butyl tape. Find a _good_ butyl tape, e.g., from Maine Sail. Here is a link: https://pbase.com/mainecruising/image/132393085
Butyl stays flexible for a long time. Don't squeeze it out completely.

It was suggested that the horizontal deck plate could be unscrewed and lifted enough off the deck to add sealant of some kind underneath, then screw back down. Thanks. BTW, we removed the old caulk around all the port lites and redid with Dow 795 and tightened all the screws. It was a success! Not perfect, but no leaks.
