I didn't use anything on my transom assembly, just let the o ring do it's job. I've heard of others using 4200. If I were to use anything it would be life seal. Much easier to deal with in case it has to come off in the future. For my k planes, I either used 4200 or life seal, don't remember but know that you definitely need some sealing there.

4200....BTW cabosil is a ground up really fine fiberglass powder..when mixed with resin it acts as a glue or a filler..

cabosil is actually fumed silica (flamed quartz sand) West's 404 is a better representation of ground FG. Cabosil is used for lots of stuff even thickener in toothpaste and cosmetics


Dave did a nice job on your boat Flash. Did he say if he was going to be getting a new shop somewhere? The world is running out of glass guys quick . . . . .
