Best sealant for underneath a MH

[DL42846]

I'm in the process of fitting a diesel heater. I need to cut a hole in the floor of the MH to fit a stainless steel deep turret mounting plate.


What wood be the best sealant to use between the turret and the MH floor underneath the MH to ensure a good water tight seal and able to withstand a bit of heat from the exhaust of the heater.

I will start it off with "just an ordinary silicone" it will be happy enough with a bit of heat and should stick OK to the plate and the floor, getting it off again might not be that easy.

You nearly caught me out there but this is stainless steel

it can not get too hot or it would char the wood in the floor. I would use a decent urethane sealant like sikaflex or puraflex

sikaflex , that's the one I was looking for. Couldn't remember the name of it. Many Thanks
