Re: Stus-List Mast boot and keel bolts

You won't seal the mast exits, masthead sheaves openings, etc. you you'll still get water down the mast. However, to seal the mast collar, wrap silicone self fusing tape around it and fill the slot with LifeSeal. See: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsUnBoN2F2Y0xkcmc That's gray

It is easy to mistake mast leakage into the bilge as keel bolt leakage. There are also plenty of other water tanks that leak and can mislead you into thinking that the bolts are leaking. If after all of the investigation reveals that they are in fact leaking, the only right way to correct the
