i need to reseal around the interior side of the back doorway and window frames. Any suggestions on caulking or sealant type. It's making my head hurt trying to figure out what would be best....

TIA
Kevin

what are you working on?

stand back about 10' from where you took the one pic and take one that kind of shows us something.

most door frames have an elastomeric self-adhesive tape.

Sorry, I thought the description would do a better job explaining, but probably only because I know what I'm trying to fix😜

So I have a very small leak coming from between the metal door frame and the fiberglass. Also a small leak under the starboard window frame between the metal and fiberglass.

do do it right would be to completely take off all the metal door frame, etc, to re-do the bedding.

however you could simply caulk the outside seam between the frame and fiberglass with 4000UV

Thanks Scott, much appreciated. I think I'll try the easy fix for now and tackle the proper repair over the winter. Boating season is short in Alaska...
