I actually bought the silicone before I got the snorkel but the instructions do not mention using a sealing silicone at all (except for maybe sealing drain plug under air filter) in the install which I thought was strange.

I would leave that drain plug unsealed. Water can not come up it
When I put the safari on my GQ it said to block that drain hole
I siliconed this one as well
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK

In my instructions it says "up to the installer to decide whether to seal or not", I think I will seal it anyway just to be safe.

I don't envy you of that job. I have an upcoming one in my GQ sometime this year. I think the worst part will be the drilling as I hate drilling in cars.
Your finished product looks pretty solid. Nice job.

I have to do this soon and the hint i am getting here is Silicon. I am nervous about putting a hole in the side of the troll though.
