I assume since the header is "bulkhead" that you're talking about sealing around the chainplates? I vote for BoatLife Lifecaulk. I also think it's a good idea to use the Schaefer chainplate covers giving a bit more area in which to achieve a good seal. Not sure whether they were "factory" items or not?
