Author	Topic:   Bedding Compound Navigtion Lamp
Keeper	posted 01-19-2014 03:06 PM ET (US)         What do you guys recommend for a bedding compound with the factory combined sidelight lamp on the bow of a 1988 Boston Whaler 15? Or do you?

If so, I have used 3M Marine Silicone or 3M Marine 4000UV Marine Sealant on other boats for these applications with good results. For this location the 4000UV might be the way to go. I would not recommend anything stronger or you may have trouble removing it to service at a later time.

From what I understand it doesn't have adhesive properties, and is more of a plumber's putty. Was just looking for a consensus.
