Can I glass under the deck, or does something like Shoo Goo work? >> My Gulfstream had wet day and rear compartments. Turned out they were leaking under the rims. I used regular black, marine caulk-NOT glue-to reseal them, per Woody's instructions. He had a similar problem with his. I pulled the rim, cleaned both surfaces and applied the caulk. The instructions said to put this stuff on, making sure it was evenly applied, screw the rim back on but only about 3/4 of the way. Allow it to dry and screw the rims the rest of the way on. Sure seemed to work for me. Much easier than thinking about glassing something in. I have found that since I did that I might get a drop in the day hatch but I kind of wonder if that tiny bit isn't coming in through the pin whole in the bulkhead behind the seat. Certainly isn't enough moisture to worry about.
