Silicone caulk around the mast collar is standard; that’s how it’s supposed to be sealed. It sounds like someone just did a sloppy job of it. The mast partners are solid fiberglass, so there’s not much there that can really go wrong.

I thought that propane on a boat was a bad idea, propane being heavier than air and not being able to escape the bilge? The tanks live in a special locker that's vented overboard.

If anyone is interested in a discounted Maxprop, PYI sells refurbished ones that are "good as new," all shined up like the above picture. They have a bunch of parts from used props at their shop and can cobble one together for you, depending on the size you need. The one I bought started life as a 1...
