I just purchased a 2001 280 DA.
I am performing general maintenance.
Should I remove the trim tabs and re-seal where the tab screws to the transom? The tabs are tight and there is no indication of a problem.
Does the sealant typically breakdown in that connection?
This would not be a particularly tough or expensive task.
Since the boat is 19 years old, I don’t want to assume the sealant is fine. However, sometimes things are better left alone.
