Yes – it  was liquid electrical tape.

Good luck with your boat!

 

I recently resealed my forehatch (replaced the lens also) using Dow 795 calk 
and believe it'll be a long-time cure from what I've seen, read and heard of it.

Stus-List Re: Universal M4-30 exhaust system

[dwight veinot via CnC-List]

I got it out of the boat without removing the heat exchanger. The flange
was bolted onto 3 studs that remained in the exhaust manifold when I
removed the nuts. I lost coolant when the flange was separated from the
manifold. That surprised me but it appears the system was built that way. I
unwrapped the heat shield and that allowed me to get a 14 mm socket with 3
inch extension unto the hidden nut. There was substantial deposit buildup
at the salt water inlet and there was a rather large piece of rubber stuck
in one of the elbows, that also surprised me. I really was impressed with
how 50/50 ATF/acetone worked as a penetrating oil. Now to get new bits and
pieces to build a new one. It really is amazing how well the engine worked
considering the restrictions in the exhaust elbow.

Stus-List Re: Leaking hatch

[dwight veinot via CnC-List]

I replaced the lens on my forward hatch probably about 6 years ago. I used
black Sikaflex 295uv and Sikaflex primer. Still no leaks. The primer is
critical because the first time I did it I did not use the primer and it
only lasted about 2 years before it leaked. I believe that I still have the
original Bomar hatch put in Alianna at build in 1974.

Stus-List Re: Leaking hatch

[Dave S via CnC-List]

I’ve used 795 and it had a longer (and welcome) working time vs yer’ basic 
silicone.  It cures easily within 24 hrs to be rubbery but not gooey, lovely 
stuff.
  I did have some cheap and aging GE eavestrough sealant ‘with silicone’ that 
would not cure properly.  Thought I’d use it up but it did not work and made a 
mess.  Well, I made a mess…

Your temp fix might be to cut out the old sealant from above (with a razor or 
box cutter type blade) back to the plexi and frame, to ensure a large trough, 
mask, and re seal by caulking the gap with silicone - 795 or otherwise.

I’ve used a syringe to force 795 deep into gaps narrower than the caulking tube 
tip.Works well.

Just to clarify- I am trying to figure out what the PO used, because it seems 
to have worked well.  Where the gooey sealant was added it is not leaking.   It 
is leaking where the extra sealant was not added.  Dave
