    Caulk for Pitot Tube- What kind to use????

    I have to replace a cut pitot tube on my 05 216. What kind of caulk do I use for the thru hull area that the tubing goes through.

    Thanks!

      I use Boat Life Life Caulk. The 3M products are good, but hard to remove once cured.

          If you haven't taken it off yet I would just knock the old pin holding the tube part to the mounting bracket and just replace the tube. no caulk needed.
