sealant/adhesive used on K-planes
 

What is the name of the sealant/adhesive that is used for K-planes, exhaust tips, etc?

Thanks

I use 3m 4200. Dont use 5200 as you will never get them off. Walmart, West Marine should have it.

Yea mean I didnt need screws :D

Formula31,

Thanks. 5200 must have been what they used from the factory! That stuff is STRONG! I'll use the 4200 in case I ever have to remove them again. :D

These are different questions !!
I use black RTV sealant for wetted exhaust pipe joints. Seals well & is easily removable. Easy to clean up messes on installation also. Marine silicone sealant for hull penetrations.....can't think of the name now but 3M is good also. :)

I have beedn told silicone works loose and not to use it

Dont use 3m 5200 , if u ever have to take them off, you'll rip the gelcoat off the hull! I know from experience! Use the 3M 4200. its better suited for that use. :)

if you need to remove somthing bedded in 5200,try a product called KYRPTONITE ADHEASIVE REMOVER spray it on and 20-25
min later on most things it pops offwith no damage to gel kote
