I used 100% Clear Silicone from Home Depot when resealing the transom adapter on my boat.  Been leak free since!  Also, I got the stuff that is water safe in thirty min.

Anything at/below water line I only use 3M marine silicone.  Some argue that its "difficult to remove" but I'd rather it be difficult to remove than have a leak.  (note, dont use the 5200...)

Do you know any stores that might carry it around Rancho Cucamonga ?

Alright I went with the GE2 silicone thanks a lot. Couldn't fond 3M silicone anywhere and $8 is a whole lot better then $29 anyways.
