Thx all for your input - as usual, some great ideas. I went with using 4200 around all - placing the starboard on top, making light contact with all surfaces, but with minimal pressure. I'm going to let that set overnight and then bolt down. I like the gasket idea.
The other area of concern is the through-bolts on top. I countersunk the oval-head bolts to lay flush with the starboard. I'm planning to put 4200 in the countersink and then push bolt head down into the mush - hopefully that will keep rainwater from coming down through the bolts.
I'll let you guys know how it comes out.
FishStretcher - you win for ingenuity. Great idea - sort of like fixing a hole in sheet rock - over cut the new pc, remove the chalk - leave the paper and sparkle her in. I will go that route of this eater one does not work.
I took a few pix but it takes to long to send from camera to computer then to photo bucket then to CSC site...
Maybe later..
