Hello everyone!
I am about to convert my rudder from the old to new style and was hoping to get some explanations and recommendations of different products to use. My boat currently picks up about a gallon of water per hour so I figured while i'm working on the rudder, i might as well seal/fill everything that's obvious...
I tried searching but i never can find anything relevant (womp womp!). Essentially my two main questions are regarding the inspection port and other random holes from old hardware (there's a lot on my boat for some reason).
When it comes to the inspection port I've heard both 4200 and 5200 as recommendations, but some say 5200 is too intense. Thoughts?
When it comes to small (I'm talking Ø.250" max) holes from old bolts & hardware, what's the best to fill this? Can i use the same 4200 or 5200 or should i get an epoxy like Marine Tex???
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
