Sealant for console

Hi
I've got a 3.8m Europa sport rib and the console has been bonded and screwed to the deck. There is a small gap between them and I was thinking of putting some marine sealant along the gap, but Im not too sure which type of sealant to use for it. Does anyone know what would be the best sealant to use? Here are a few photos of the gap between the console and deck.
Cheers, Matt.

Sikaflex 291i would be an option.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I looked at Sikaflex 291i and went to their website which said if the joint remains exposed to weather then use Sikaflex 295 UV. I've read a few things about some sealants turning yellow after a while, which I want to avoid.

I have used this in the past. It’s the only one I used that didn’t go yellow 👍🏻
