Garboard Drain Plug

My Powerquest is leaking water. I think it is coming in around the Garboard Drain Plug & its plate. When tightening the plug into the plate. The plate & its 3 screws give a little when tightening the drain plug into the plate. I am assuming the chalk or adhesive between the plate & the hull has broken its seal & letting the water in. My question is, if I unscrew the 3 screws holding the Garboard Drain Plug on, clean out the adhesive or chalk out. What adhesive or chalk do I use to put it all back together ???

Probably want to get your transom tested for moisture content.

Trying to figure out why one would use chalk in there:confused: Maybe that is why it is leaking, chalk doesnt do good with water, I would remove it, and replace using caulk this time, preferably 4200 or 5200:party-smiley-004:
