Ed, Where you been? Good follow-up on the joke. Ditto the swim ladder. Its the culprit. Good call.

abl1111, silicone=junk - west system epoxy=good long term projection - 5200 is head and shoulders above any other sealant IMHO, except when trying to bond the stuff to starboard. I put my motor on with 5200 and when I went to take the motor off, I removed the 4 bolts and the motor didn't budge. I let the tension off of the hydraulic motor hoist and it stayed put!!! To finally get the motor free, I had to use that anti-bond stuff and it didn't penetrate all of the 5200. So in those areas where the anti-bond didn't reach the sealant took the gelcoat and the first layer of fiberglass off with it!!!
