my apologies for the newbi question, can the West 6-10 be used to fill areas where the wet balsa core is scrapped out. I'm rebedding some hardware and repairing a few soft spots.

The only markings on the original were a stylized "T", and "Made in Sweden". An internet search did not reveal the original manufacturer, bit I did find a discussion that indicated a Beckson "Vent-O-Mate" would fit. I ordered the version with the plastic cover from West Marine and used the original stainless cover. The vent was an exact replacement for the original, down to the mounting holes. I am hoping that the closure feature will allow less water entry from big splashes than is the case with the solar vent on my 27. The original sealant appeared to be disulphide caulking which was in good condition, but the hole liner extension was not water tight, and I intend to fill the deck to headliner gap in the same way that you have done, at the other listers' suggestions. I don't have the "good" butyl described by others, so I have not made a decision on the sealant yet.

I ran a heater in the head since it was only 50 or so on the boat and it set up fine. Any water getting in there will have no more access to the core. I next need to get the hole positions set and fill them with epoxy. Butyl tape does seem the best way to seal this to the deck too.

LOL thats why it took me so much time on the hatches, well that and removing the effing silicone! I hate that stuff!

Whatever you use for sealant is not there to protect your deck as much as to keep the cabin dry. The epoxy is to protect the core.

They suggest using silicone caulk. I already have 4200, would that work? Also I my experience, something with that much flat surface against the deck is going to be very well glued on by the caulk. I doubt it will ever come loose unless I run a blade under it, so do I need to bother with the mounting screws into the deck?
