In another thread, we've been discussing the best adhesive / sealant for use on Triumph Boats. Clearly, Rule Elstomeric is the best and the only one recommended by Triumph Boats (years ago).
Years later, there has been other Elastomerics developed that work well. Rule is the best, use it as long as you can find it. In the absence of Rule, or if you cannot find it in your area, look for Sudbury Elastomeric, it's the same. I cannot find it under the name "Rule" anymore.

ChemLink M-1 Marine Adhesive/Sealant has the next best adhering properties. I've used it on both my Davis and the Triumph 215cc I had. No issues. It seems to have a greater structural strength, so be careful how much you use.
More information on ChemLink M-1 can be found here: https://www.chemlink.com/Products/Specialty/SKU-8263-M-1-Marine
And despite the label and advertisements, IT IS NOT sandable after it cures.
Hope this helps,
Martin
