Garboard

[Trey5684]

I'm replacing the garboard fitting on my boat, what is the recommended sealant to us 4200 or 5200?

I'd use 4200. If it was installed and then later replaced, it might need to be removed/replaced again.

Thanks Shrew I'll go with 4200

BTW I was tricked a little thinking just remove three screws and garboard fitting comes out and then seal and install new one by several of the you tube videos. They forgot to mention some boats (mine) have one screw that is actually thru the transom with a nut and ground wire in the bilge. Not a big deal "if" you fit between the engines and have long arms. Live and learn ��

That would be the bonding wire.

You are right "bonding" not ground, my mistake
