mm, if it was me and you were close to the boat, I would remove the bolts now if they spin and use something else. Might be OK, but Blue loctite or the recommended "thread"sealant might be better I think 4200 is a glue, That worries me a little, maybe for nothing and all will be well, but if it was me, and I was near, I would clean it off.

Agreed...also helps with dis-similar metals and corrosion. 4200 is a bonding sealer, I wouldn't use it on threads.

ah i figure if i need to pull em ( which shouldnt be for a few years hopfully ) il just heat the bolt heads with a small blow torch lighter to soften that shit up and remove ...

Now is a good time to test before 4200 cures. Try to loosen one after a few days, then a week, then a month. You just do not want them to lock up.

Not what you should use....
