[Alberg30] window leaks/V berth leaks

[vinegar joe]

i used GE Silpruf on the very leaky fixed ports of my
A29 this spring and it seems to be working great (had
read of the product somewhere on the web....designed
for wet environments, etc.).   but i think that more
important than the caulk brand, is the precaulk
prep....that was a surprising amount of work in the
case of my boat.
anyway, one vote for silpruf.
