[C38] The deck/hull joint

[Phil Gay]

One of the things on my long "to do" list is to tighten all the bolts
through the hull to deck joint.  I am hoping that this will stop some of my
leaks.  I know that I have a water leak around a "preliminary" bolt through
the hull to deck joint that is covered over by the toe rail.

I plan on taking a roto tool to this joint this spring (had planned on 
doing this last year, but ran out of time).  I suspect I am getting some 
leaking in heavy seas, which I saw a lot of over the past two years.   
It is filled with some kind of caulk and my thinking is to route at 
least 1/4 inch and then fill it with 5200.  Has anyone done this?
