I really hate the 4 piece pan. When I got it runing about a yeah and a half ago I was chasing leaks all over. I finally got it to stop. Last night I saw a drop and looks like it’s along a seam. I hate this design. Guess I’ll have to get ahold of my fiend with a 13’ brake and bend my own to make a one piece pan.
I used a tube of gasket maker. no leaks. what did you use
The sealant they sent. Then had to add more and used a roofing sealant and silicone.
Silicone is the problem. I used polyurethane adhesive/sealant. 3M 5200. Zero leaks in 4 years.

I’m keeping this one in mind, Thank you for sharing.
I used Loctite PL marine sealant on my XR 3 years ago on assembly no leaks to this day. 3m 4200 works great as does 3m 5200 used both on boats over the years. The 3m5200 is a permanent adhesive, where 3m 4200 is for parts that might have to be dissembled later down the road.
Never use silicone for sealing it is complete garbage…
After about 5 different tubes of chalking and with multiple different methods, I gave up and spent the time to weld it up and install piping with ball valve for a drain connection to a water hose and pump. Got tired of feeling good on sealing to come back to water all over the floor. After my troubles, wish they would just offer up a weld up pan.
