Boat Life

<h3>About BoatLIFE</h3><p><strong>BoatLIFE</strong> has been a cornerstone of the marine maintenance industry for over 65 years, earning a reputation as one of the most trusted names on the water. Founded in 1959 and proudly manufactured in the USA, the brand traces its origins to the pioneering work of Edwin Kehrt, a former U.S. Army Corps of Engineers captain whose introduction of purpose-built marine caulking and sealant compounds helped transform how boaters approach hull integrity and long-term care.</p><p>What sets BoatLIFE apart is a simple but enduring philosophy: every product in their lineup should be engineered specifically for the demands of the marine environment — not adapted from general-purpose formulas. Saltwater exposure, UV radiation, fuel contact, and constant immersion require performance standards that go well beyond what household maintenance products can deliver. BoatLIFE has built its entire catalog around meeting those standards.</p><h3>A Complete Marine Maintenance System</h3><p>At the heart of the BoatLIFE lineup is their legendary range of <a href="/7264-boat-life-caulks-sealants-201788">marine caulks and sealants</a>. The flagship Life-Calk&reg; polysulfide sealant has become an industry benchmark — a permanently flexible, waterproof compound that bonds to fiberglass, wood, metal, and glass, and can even be applied underwater for emergency repairs. Alongside it, BoatLIFE offers silicone rubber sealants, polyurethane adhesive/sealers, and teak deck sealants, giving boaters a purpose-matched solution for every sealing task above or below the waterline.</p><p>Beyond sealants, BoatLIFE produces a comprehensive suite of boat cleaners, waxes, rubbing compounds, polishes, and restoration solutions. Their Boat Cleaner features an environmentally safe, phosphate-free, biodegradable formula that lifts grime without stripping protective wax from fiberglass surfaces — a thoughtful detail that reflects the brand&apos;s understanding of how products interact throughout a complete maintenance routine. Their Life Wax line protects hull gelcoat from UV damage while delivering a deep, lasting shine, and the Teak Brite&reg; series of powder cleaners and brighteners addresses the specific needs of teak decks, swim platforms, and wood trim without damaging soft wood grain.</p><h3>Why Boaters Trust BoatLIFE</h3><p>For over six decades, BoatLIFE has refined its formulas based on real-world feedback from recreational boaters, professional captains, and marine tradespeople. Their commitment to American manufacturing means tighter quality control and formulations that reflect the conditions found in both coastal saltwater environments and freshwater lakes. Whether you&apos;re rebedding deck hardware, sealing thru-hull fittings, restoring oxidized gelcoat, or cleaning a live well, there&apos;s a BoatLIFE product engineered for the task.</p><p>The brand&apos;s in-house team of technical experts is also available to help boaters choose the right product for specific applications — a level of support that reflects genuine expertise rather than generic customer service. For anyone serious about maintaining their vessel&apos;s condition and longevity, BoatLIFE represents a time-tested, all-American solution built from the waterline up.</p>

Product Details

Boat Life Life-Calk Fix is a professional-grade, non-sagging repair putty that cures to a steel-hard finish for permanent marine repairs. This versatile epoxy putty can be applied above or below the waterline and fully cures in 24 hours, even when submerged.

Key Features:

  • Non-sagging formula stays in place on vertical and overhead surfaces
  • Cures hard as steel for structural strength
  • Can be drilled, tapped, sanded, and painted after curing
  • Bonds to fiberglass, wood, metal, glass, and concrete
  • Resistant to oil, gasoline, alcohol, caustic detergents, and saltwater oxidation
  • Easy soap and water cleanup before curing
  • Works underwater for emergency repairs

Ideal for repairing cracks, holes, and damaged surfaces on boats, docks, and marine equipment. The 16-ounce container provides ample material for multiple repairs. Once cured, Life-Calk Fix creates a permanent, waterproof bond that withstands harsh marine environments.

Extremely Happy! Best price on the web, easy order tracking, if only all online orders from other sources were this easy. I ordered a component from another online retailer who showed parts "in stock" only to see my status as "sent to warehouse" and it was weeks. When Autoplicity shows "in stock" it really was and delivered right away.

Found it cheaper elsewhere but can't complain.

Easy to order and find parts

Cheaper than going through alta

It was very easy. I am looking forward to seeing it. It's for my granddaughters truck.

This was a site I was unfamiliar with at first. However after doing a little price comparison amongst the big names, this site had beaten Amazon, eBay, and online auto parts chains in terms of price. Made sure it was the same brand part I was looking for, went ahead and ordered, and had it in the next two days. Was pleasantly surprised, thanks!

Easy. I like the amazon sign in.

Best prices anywhere!! They take care of their customers, too!

Great price.

Quickly received item. Exactly what I ordered and was best price out there. Will do business with them again.

Saved money! That is GREAT!

The website is very easy to navigate & found what i was looking for, i will advise my friends aboou purchasing arp products from thie website, thnks autoplicity.
