Eric (and anyone else pondering this repair):
Something to pursue prior to any repairs is this: try to create a mold of the deck opening before you do any demolition work. That way you are able to re-use the red rubber gasket to seal around the mast. On the repair to Slingshot mentioned below, Torresen Marine was able to pull a mold from my boat that facilitated the repair on Slingshot. Bottom line: pull a mold off your boat (or find another 9.1 nearby that you can mold from). If you're like me (and pull your mast every winter), you are pleased with the seal formed by the rubber gasket and work to avoid using other sealing materials that make pulling the mast more difficult.
