screwing into buoyancy tanks


 

Hi all,

How do you seal screws which penetrate the buoyancy tanks (in a Wanderer Mark 2)? This applies to eg the screws for the swivel plates for the floorboards and the screws at the bottom of the tabernacle. I have a couple of screws which are loose in the fibreglass and leak air / water. Can anyone advise on the best way to recreate a seal? I was thinking about removing the screw, squeezing in some gelcoat and then re-drilling, would this work, and should i also use some sealant?

Very grateful for any views.

thanks

James
