I have a 2003 Stratos 20XL in phenomenal shape. I have noticed after the past few trips that water was in an odd spot on the “ledge” in the battery compartment where the top motor mount bolts are. I dried everything out and resealed the rubrail in a few areas I realized that needed it. I went today and got back and there was again some water, but not as much. I am attributing the amount being less solely to the fact I was only out there for a little while and the last time I noticed I was out all day. I am pretty sure the top motor mount bolt (s) are leaking slowly. I am thinking about pulling the top bolts one at a time, adding in some 3M 4200 and then putting the bolts back in and tightening back down. I am going to add it to the hole, outside the hole, and inside behind the backer plate. My question is, is this plan a decent one or should I take it somewhere and have the whole motor and jackplate pulled and then sealed? The bottom ones are
not leaking at all so I don’t really want to disturb them. If its not the motor bolts, it’s the tie down hook bolts, which I’m going to do at the same time anyways.
So, carry on with my plan or no and take it somewhere and have everything pulled?
