Have any of the fellows using the 5200 ever removed the tubes after installed with that method? I base my opinion on seeing pictures of trashed transoms from motor mounting with the 5200. Quite a bit of discussion on the site on the use of adhesives vs sealants. Whalers original design was "O" ring only. I have also seen postings of using fiberglass tubes vs Whaler brass as well as closing off the holes entirely. I prefer factory original with this particular feature with the sealant as an upgrade.

Calcium Chloride is the active ingredient in many of the mold/moisture removing products. Keep it away from any metal. No longer being used as a concrete accelerator because it destroys the rebar.
