Boy does the weather stink in Indiana....So, I decided to take a couple of
days off and drive to TN to work on the boat.  It was gonna be easy... Yank
out the countertops in the Master Cabin and replace them with Corian.
Hmmmmm??? what's all that rotten wood behind there???  Ok.  No big deal.
Just take off this wall panel and see where it's coming from.  Ok this panel
too.. and these....  Well crap!!! now I gotta take out this window.  Did I
mention that I came down to escape that lousy Indiana weather???  Oh.  Did
I also mention that when I took out the window that I had to cover it in
Visqueen to keep the SNOW FROM BLOWING IN!!!!!!!

Why didn't I sell this tub last year??  Oh Yeah.  The Admiral will not be
boatless.  Now I remember.    Anyway, back to the subject line-----When I
took out the windows  (well,,,if I'm gonna do one side.....) the caulk was
'still gooey after all these years'  So what is it??  Is it most likely
polysulfide?  That's all I really wanted to know.  Oh well, time for
another 12 oz attitude adjustment.

In
addition to the answers you have received so far it may be the PO used plain
ole window glazing. It also remains pliable and gooey. Only reason I know some
might use it is because it is because the PO on my boat did the same. Even
found
the half full can from which he applied it. It is on my "to do" list to
replace
it (and the windows). It does not make a good seal and in my opinion
should not
be on a boat.
