It is finally time to re-seal the bulkheads in my FG Gulfstream. What
does everybody recommend as a sealant?

Steve,

I've used 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive (available at West Marine) to seal a few
things, and it's pretty good stuff. Just be sure to remember that it takes
about 7 days to fully cure.

You can add cotol or buy the fast cure version of 5200.  I can't 
remember the cure time offhand, but it's somewhat less than 7 days (2 
days?).

Sikaflex sealants are also good - go to a marine supplier and see 
which version sounds right.
