Ski Nautique Goop Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Boat Maintenance Forum Discription: Discuss maintenance of your Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23962 Printed Date: November-19-2024 at 1:38pm Topic: Ski Nautique Goop Posted By: KRoundy Subject: Ski Nautique Goop Date Posted: October-27-2011 at 12:41am I am wondering if anybody knows what the goop is that CC uses on screws in my 1993 Ski. It seems like it is just a clear silicone sealant for the most part. It looks like the screws that hold on the engine mount have silver-colored gel of some sort on them. Any ideas are appreciated.

If it feels like rubber, it's silicone. The silver is more than likeky anti seize. Posted By: KRoundy Date Posted: October-28-2011 at 3:04pm I thought that too about the anti-seize, Ed, but why would you put anti-seize on what are essentially lag bolts that attach the aluminum engine/transmission frames to the boat? Just curious. ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow Posted By: TRBenj Date Posted: October-28-2011 at 3:27pm KRoundy wrote: I thought that too about the anti-seize, Ed, but why would you put anti-seize on what are essentially lag bolts that attach the aluminum engine/transmission frames to the boat? Just curious. Because theyre lagged through a composite stringer into an aluminum backer? Thats a possibility. No antiseize on my '90 though. I found remnants of silicone on my '90- I found no traces of quality sealant like 5200. ------------- Posted By: Ed Date Posted: October-28-2011 at 3:40pm Kevin, The aluminum and stainless are disimilar metals, which naturally creates corrosion. Salt water excelerates the process. That's were anti seize comes into play.
