Then the boat I sail - a 34 foot Grand Soleil was leaking at the stanchions into the side cupboards - especially in heavy weather when the toe rail was under water. Captain Tolley's fixed these leaks. This product comes in the form of a Ms-polymer elastic adhesive and sealant.

The sealant uses a solution made from silicone which is extremely strong and elastic, meaning that it can not only effectively treat leaks, but it has the durability to stay in place for a long time.

I suggest you go to a shop that sells fish tanks and equipment for aquariums. Buy a medium sized air pump and about four feet of plastic tubing that attaches to the pump. The pump will be mains electricity operated. Push the other end of the plastic tube through one of the bung holes and down inside the window space. Switch on and air will be blown through the void and out of the other bung hole. After a few hours it will slowly dry out. Best done on a hot sunny day. I also bought a small hygrometer (not hydrometer) from a hardware shop (cost 3 pounds) which measures air moisture. You can use the air pump when the air is at it's driest.
