I am replacing my Raymarine C80 with an Axiom 9 multi function display. It is mounted on the bulkhead outside in the cockpit however the flat part of the bulkhead is not quite wide enough horizontally so the void between the Bezel and the curved part has to be filled with some kind of sealant or WHY. What sealant or other solution would anyone suggest ?

Any major part can be filled with closed cell foam such as insulation foam cut to shape with knife . This then fills the space so that you can then apply a caulking to finish off.

Personally I like Bath Caulking ..... the sealant you run round the bath edge to seal. Its non toxic, non acidic. easy to replace later if necessary ....

I am sure someone will likely suggest Sikaflex ..... but I would not use it as its more permanent sealant ...
