Rudder Lashings: epoxy in place or caulk?

[Mike Haromy]

Just putting my final lashings on the rudders and wanted opinions about using epoxy where the rope passes thru the hull and rudder or caulking or leaving them alone.  

Also is antifouling harmful to the strength of the rope?

thanks!

Thank you Björn.

I used a simple overhand knot for our lashings.  It worked fine.

it is a 3m brand adhesive caulk.... semi-permanent....very strong
