Sealing Off My Bulkhead.

[Shifty]

I am about to install my footholds and figured I should do something about the poor seal between my upper/ bottom deck and bulkhead. I see the green glue yamaha used and I would rather use that but I think they no longer sell it? It is sealed pretty well except for the taped over factory fill holes, exhaust penetration and In some areas, where I can see between the bulkhead and hull, I am ableto see the two part foam Yamaha used to in the tray area.

This is a new ski ('08) and has never gone under so its not too late to try to seal it up I believe.

Should I used some epoxy mixed with cabosil around the seam? I am not in the mood and have no time to reinforce (seal off the bulkhead) at the moment so this is not an option.


Thanks for your responses.

I used extra bostik i had lying around when i added tubbies... sealed all the tubes, foam holes, and around the bulkhead.

You can use some 5200 on it, that should seal it well. I used it on the back side of my bulkhead when I had the tray cut out. As far as the foam fill holes I glassed over mine with epoxy resin and some cloth.

I used 5200 fast cure. I put a bead in the groove then pressed it in/smoothed it with my finger to get rid of any air pockets. If I was to do it again (when I do it again), I wouldn't bother sealing it. Use pink insulation foam rather than 2-part expanding, and install drain plugs.
