That's the bulletproof way to avoid a wet core. Also, Life Caulk polysulfide sealant in another option to 4200. Stinks like hell, but it doesn't harden and will cure underwater! If you're not leaving boat in water all the time and the silicone sealing job is relatively recent, you could probably postpone resealing the outdrive until time for annual maintenance on it.
