When you install the fire extinguisher pocket into the console do you just use the screws to hold it, or should I use 5200 to secure the pocket to the console?

thanks

O.E.M. installation is with oval headed, threaded screws with washers and nuts.

Kamie,

I used clear silicone to seal mine. It comes off easily if you ever have to take the pocket out and it stops water from seeping in especially when washing the boat.

jerrym4,
I have seen several different screws originally holding in the teak frame through the years.
1. oval head, phillips
2. flush head, phillips
