One thing about RTV's is that they use acetic acid in their makeup.
Acetic acid in a damp of humid or wet environment will make any metals
in the proximity start to corrode. While you may get a water proof
seal the vapors / fumes can start to corrosion especially if any water
or moisture ever gets into it.RTV use in aircraft for a sealant
anywhere is a no no for this reason. I would use a good polyurethane
sealant, and in a lot of cases you will find it sticks better, and
lasts longer and is cheaper to buy, and if the need ever arises is
paintable as well.

I used RTV's for years for making all kinds of seals and water
proof/resistent connections etc., but the best way is with
polyurethane sealants.
