Todd,
I don't have the method saved anymore, bit it is similar to tightening the  
head on a engine so that everything remains flat. Perhaps Stan or someone 
else  could help out with this.

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
