[Public-List] Sealing cockpit coamings

[George Dinwiddie]

On Calypso, #543, I cleaned off all the old Dolfenite and used 2"x1/16" (I think, might have been 1/8")  neoprene gasket along the top of the Fiberglas behind the coaming. After reassembly, I put a fillet of caulk along this seam, also.

I have been thinking about the best way to seal them to prevent water on deck from running onto the seats. The coamings are of the old type with a piece of teak quarter round on the outboard side.  I am thinking that this time I will just seal the quarter round to the coamings and seal the bottom of the quarter round to the deck.  I don't believe any sealant below this level will to much good and may trap water that does get past the seal and cause rot.  I will also want to remove them again in a few years so 5200 probably isn't a good idea.
