		  Greetings Bob,



 May I suggest that you try "3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200" instead of RTV for your tests.  I have used it under many fittings above and below the waterline on boats with excellent results.  They also make a 4200 that is easier to remove which might be more appropriate for antenna installations.   	


   Good info. Actually, there are a host of

   suitable sealants. In this case, cured sealant

   exposed to the environment is a very thin

   'gasket edge' that is quite protected. I

   rather suspect that any quality caulking

   compound would suffice. I thought of EGRTV

   only because it's stuff I have around and

   I KNOW it to be non-corrosive . . . unlike

   similar products with the smell of acetic

   acid.



   What ever we test should be something that

   a builder can readily acquire at low cost.

   Hardware store acrylic caulk seems an attractive

   alternative.
