Hi guys, I pulled my Dauntless yesterday from our seasonal slip to take it home. I opened up the rear access panel where the engine wires pass through the hull and found it full of water. I pulled the plug emptying it out. I assume that since it has a plug it's normal for water to seep in there but does this mean that I need to recaulk the edges on the panel? The round screw in part of the panel was tight when I opened it but the caulking around the outside edges of the panel look a little worn. I'm going to buy a new plug also but what marine grade caulk should I purchase?
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it!
