I was just reading my new BoatUS and saw an article re the best, longest lasting caulk. Answer yourself and then click [url="http://www.boatus.com/seaworthy/caulk.asp"]here.[/url]

I think they overstate the ease of removing silicone... I've found that it leaves residue that's almost impossible to remove completely. Polysulfide is fairly easy to remove cleanly.

...ya, LifeSeal is a good alternative, particularly for bedding plastics.

Silicone should never be used on a boat. If I see a boat for sale with silicone on it, I walk away.
