Sealant for a livewell...

I need to replace a "can" style aerator as it's leaking in my boat. I know what I am doing and normally would use 5200 on it, however the glue will be inside the live well. Will it cause any issue with toxins and live shrimp?
Just thinking out lout wondering if there is a better watertight glue for this type of application?

maybe silicone without mold fighting stuff. Aquarium sealant. I think it might GE type 1.

Will that seal to fiberglass and withstand flexing and such?

since 5200 dries as hard a woodpecker lips I would think once it cures it wouldn't emit much of anything

This, but I would use 4200. It would be a hell of a lot easy to change that pump in the future. Besides, 4200 is used for above the water line and used in this case.

Do you just need to seal something together? If so I would use lifecaulk or 3m 4200. If you need to bond something i would use 5200.

I have a 500 GPM aerator pump. It's intake is below the water line to I need to replace the pump and housing and the two plastic nuts that hold the intake and the pump tight on each side and make the live well water tight. I see I typed 5200 but meant 4200, unless yawl have other ideas I think that's what I will use. I don't like the idea of silicone not sure it will hold up and if it doesn't the boat could sink...

I'd use 5200
I put that shite on everything

Silicone should not be used in a boat. It's crap. If by any chance you ever spill gas in the hull, the gas will break down silicone real fast.

In short 5200 is the original slow cure version of 4200. It's got like a 7 day cure time.
5200 is also the gold standard for marine sealant/adhesive. Its approved for direct UV exposure and use below the waterline. If you read the label no silicone product out there is approved for use below the waterline. You need a polyurethane or epoxy.

5200 that shite, but if you want to clean it off you will need a sander/grinder
