i have a 34 foot aluminum campboat thet i have had for 40 years.....the inboard and outdrive was pulled and junked many years ago...its just a fishing camp...it has a seacock that i left in it when i pulled the motor etc..then the back deck was rebuilt with no access except thru the hole left by the outdrive...this hole is above the waterline and i plan to pull the cover i put on it to get to the seacock which i suspect is leaking....i dont remember exactly how it was installed but i do remember a piece of wood with a regular galvanised faucet sticking up....my problem is this:i expect to find wet wood and wet aluminum when i get in there...i will be working thru the hole that the outdrive went thru....very little water pressure as that part of the boat is only inches below the water....what i need is suggestions....i have been looking and thinking of using a spray sealant....but i am not sure what sealant to use or if that would even work....any knowledge shared on this kind of problem would be greatly appreciated...thank you...Carl
