What's the "BEST" Sealant for use on the bolts & stay-mounts ?
The hulls are ready to go back on the X-beams & i need to seal
the bolts ; what should i use that's better than silicone sealant ?

3M 5200 marine sealant is the best - but can be very difficult to remove if you need to remove things later. 4200 sealant is a little less permanent. Either can be cleaned up with mineral spirits while it's still wet to leave a nice smooth finish.
I was onced involved with a Nacra that someone had seated it's beams to the hulls with 5200. When it finally came apart, the fiberglass hull was still stuck to the beam.
