Tyler, I used a caulking gun with Six 10 epoxy. Thick stuff, works great. No mess. Premix nozzle, easy to apply in tight spaces like hull deck joint Neil Happy Connecting.

I suspect it was from really bad docking (slamming into docks at high speed) or getting crushed between two other boats. The gusts on Saturday were burying my rail, and there was water pooled in the isolated storage compartments on both sides of the cabin. I remember your suggestion about sealing it with flocked cotton and epoxy mix, but how can I get it into the flanged joint? Do you think I need to completely take the deck off so I can clean up the surfaces, or just unbolt the cracked part, pry it open, and inject the mix with a syringe?
