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.

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.

I always had to  use 3M 4200 on the seal on my '81. I too had a problem 
with
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.

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
