I am doing a few joints nowwith "boat life"
surface preparation is the most important.....take it out, clean joint out good....
The problem here is the sealant is actually failing. While I've seen this before, I do not know if the root cause is due to using the wrong formulation (not UV protected) or if Sea Ray simply got a bad batch. I suspect the wrong formulation, but that is just an uneducated guess.
As noted above, Boat Life does make a good product. The one to use is Life Seal.

I've just gone through the same problem and in my case it caused a leak into the aft cabin. Now that you mention it, I'm thinking my boat was the victim of a bad batch of sealant as well. Here's a picture of one of my bad seams:

BTW, this tool was invaluable in doing the repairs. It has a scraper on one end that was great in digging out the seams and the silicone applicator on the other end really reduced the messiness of the job and created great-looking seams. View attachment 23140
al, what is that tool? Is it something special, boating item we dont know about ?
