Re: Stus-List Companionway hood
I just did mine and I confess that I used silicone on the screw threads since I had it out and had been using it to re-mount the teak slide rails to the plexiglass. I don't usually have silicone on the boat because I don't find it very effective, but it was the only thing that would look right in this case. Normally I would use 4200 or 4000uv. In this case the screw penetrations are under the hood and not likely to get hit with a lot of water anyway, so I figured it would be good enough. I did put a drop of Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure on the screw heads, as I have found that stuff to help with window leaks, and deck leaks in general.

Stus-List Companionway hood
I am planning to remove my companionway hood and check for leaks later this Fall. Leaks into the hood are not an issue but I think the screws that fasten the hood simply screw into the outer layer of fiberglass and penetrate into the balsa core (like many other original fastenings). I will most likely remove a little core in the area of the screws and check it for water. I will probably drill out the holes to a bigger size (like 3/4-inch) and then fill them with thickened epoxy. After the epoxy hardens, I will use a suitably sized pilot hole so the screws have something to bite into. Even if it's not leaking into the core now, if you've gone to all the trouble of removing the hood, why not fix it so it will never leak? In this case, there wouldn't be much of a need for any sealant. In driving rains, I am getting a leak that exits near the companionway steps--I think the companionway hood is the likely entrance for the water (unless it is simply coming in at the companionway door). If this is the case (which I don't know for sure yet) my balsa core is probably wet in the area. We'll see...

Re: Stus-List Companionway hood
After repairing hundreds of holes in Calypso’s balsa cored deck, including 2 or 3 long gone versions of companionway hoods and dodgers I strongly second the motion to drill/fill with epoxy, re-drill then seal under the screw. Anything less runs the risk of water eventually seeping into the balsa. Small amounts of water degrading the balsa around a few screws will not compromise the deck strength but once enough water starts to flow “downhill” and work its way to a low spot the potential repair area expands significantly. If time does not allow the full meal deal, using a low viscosity epoxy, paint, or other coating will help. I have not used any of the “creeping crack repair/sealer” type products but have heard from people walking the dock past Calypso as we work on the deck of it being used to seal balsa.

Re: Stus-List Companionway hood
Bob: Assuming that the hood is similar to my 38MKII.some thoughts on the process might be useful to you. I've replaced the sliding Plexiglas 3 times since I've owned the boat (15 years)During the middle replacement, I decided to completely remove the sliding components and made new teak ones but in the process, I noted that since the boat seems to sit bow down a little (so it sails flat when crew is in the cockpit), I was collecting lots of water and finally rotted stuff in the small space ahead of the slide. That space holds about a half gallon of water and over time it just gets gray and messy. Since you will have the hood off, and since your headliner is easily accessible, consider this.I drilled out the forward corners of that space and led a flared stainless tube down to connect with some Tygon tubing and then out of the cabin side just forward of the windowsThe exit hole is about a1/4 and is cut at the same anagle as the cabin sides so it doesn't show. All of the tubing is hidden by the headliner panels... That area is now always dry and since there's a way out, I haven't had any concern for over 5 years. Every spring, I run a wire snake up from the side to clear anything that has plugged the holes and never found anything of substance. Your leak at the corners of the companionway is likely caused by the aging of the sealant used in making that teak frame for the drop boards.I had mine taken off this year and there was hardly anything behind it. So we fabricated new ones from Starboard (seafoam matches our decks) and really sealed the whole thing with sealant. Been in for 4 months now and never a drop .since the bow down angle of the boat at rest collects water up front, when you get in the cockpit, it drains backward out of the trough at each side of the sliding part of the hatch and down onto the bridge deck seat.before it used to collect at the base of the drop board and then into the spaces on either side that were unsealed. Maybe the job should be expanded to take care of your current problem and any future issues than can come up ..doing it now prevents you from doing it again... Best, Ron C.

Re: Stus-List Companionway hood
Hi I am interested in at least one roll, perhaps 3, if long term storage is not a problem.

It seems that the other one can sell smaller quantities. There is a downside to it: if you want it shipped to Canada, the cost is about the same as the tape (around $30). It is worth its while to order more (cost of shipping is the same) and share. Btw. I can share one roll at cost (and it is already on the Canadian side of the border). Btw2. No association with either of them, but supposedly this is the best butyl tape around.

It is foolproof stuff to work with and seals great.

What type of sealant should i put into the screwholes when I put it back on? 4200? Silicon? Any advice would be appreciated. There seemed to be quite the debate a few years ago about whether to seal the entire underside or not.
