sealing this style thru hull

rasbury

I resealed this thru hull but I don't think I did a good job and will check it again tomorrow in the water. When I pulled it apart, the hole thru the hull is much larger than needed which was a little disappointing unless that is done intentionally. The surface that contacts the hull and around the scoop I gobbed on the sealer which really casued the whole thing to sit off the bottom of the hull when really I guess I should have just put the sealant around the base of the part that goes through the hull for the "seal" to be good and left sealant off around the scoop itself pulling tight against the hull?
