[C320-list] Fixing Genoa/Jib Car Track Leaks

[Dave Hupe]

Frank- I would not recommend counter-sinking the deck mount holes.  Although that definitely would be better to provide more space for the butyl to squeeze into, I believe that the widened deck holes would extend out beyond the very thin mounting surface of the genoa/jib track.

Were you able to countersink the deck holes to allow extra butyl tape to
flow around the bolts?  Sounds like things are really tight, so there may
not be room.

For those not familiar, here is a link to how butyl tape may be used on
deck hardware:

is linked on his site after trying several other brands.
