You're probably right. In my restoration project I'm just so tired of scraping: caulk, butyl, silicone, the list goes on. My goal is to own a boat that will never require scraping again - I know, unlikely - but the washers are one way this might work.

Also, I am a mechanical engineer - so please enlighten!
