Question for someone with more knowledge than me (thats just about everyone)……

Just replace my live well pump motor. Didn't have to replace the plumbing that goes thru the hull and the 5200 applied there is still good. I have an access panel at the back of the transom right by the two drain holes (McKee Craft solid foam fill with no bilge pump) and when standing at the back opt the boat, not uncommon for water to wash in and out. I cleaned of the old 5200 so it would get a good seal and applied a more than generous amount of new 5200. How long does this stuff take to cure? Ive seen some posts that say 48 hours but others say a full 7 days. Thanks!

The higher the humidity and temps,the faster it will set up, the lower temps at night and the low humidity during the day, it can take sometimes 7 to 12 days. Just depending.
