Hello All, New 255 FSH Owner!

More recently, I used silicone caulk to seal the console to the deck and to the stanchions, leaving weep holes at the rear of the console where it meets the deck. Ever since I completed the sealing job, my helm locker has remained mostly dry during rainstorms and deck-scrubbings.

Basically, I sealed all the seams where the console meets the deck and forward stanchions — top-to-bottom — not only along the outer perimeter of the console but also where the top of the dashboard meets the frame below the windshield.
