rudderpost leak

Post by JBA »

Hello all,

Last fall I removed the two small wood sections around the rudder post that kept the water out of the bilge of my Typhoon. I am ready to re-install but need some guidance. If I coat the bottom of the wood with 4200, will that do the job? Any other suggestions? Thanks, JBA

I used BoatLife Lifeseal sealant at the wood sections around rudder post in the cockpit with good results.
