I had to pull my mast and re-step twice and both times the service company suggested then used 5200 to create a gasket. Before this the company who was servicing the boat when I bought it (1996) removed the orange gasket and through it away! So, silicone and other sealants were used but always leaked because the mast moves fore and aft. Also, the size of the hole in the deck was a little smaller than normal because of a previous repair to the cabin top. At any rate, the gasket made from 5200 was successfully set in 2000, then removed in early 2001 and reset this past April with no problems and no leaks. John Stefancik "Hurricane Kelley" hull #5 |
