Centerboard caps don't leak when installed properly. Something isn't  
matching up properly or you didn't follow the proper tightening procedure. I  
would only use a sealant as a last resort.

just the gasket - lots of leaks!  Maybe there was a problem with  the form
that was used to make the CB trunk & cap in those  days.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Center Board  leak

Wow....I just splashed my boat for the first time simply to see if  the new
center board gasket I installed  was water proof. It  wasn't....water poured
in as if there was nothing there. I tightened all  the screws but this only
slowed down the in-flow a little. Stan is adamant  that no silicon should be
used to seal the gasket, but apart from this I  can't figure a way to seal
this. Any suggestions?

Thanks
