Default Leak at grey water tank exit

I have a small leak at the greywater tank where the drain pipe connects. Any suggestions on what to use to seal it up?

I suspect that BoatLife Life Caulk would do the trick. I've used it for years on sailboats or, for a permanent repair, 3M's 5200. Both are available in small tubes at any marine store or at westmarine.com. Either can be used above or below the waterline and retain some flexibility allowing for structural movement. - camp2canoe

When we purchased our TM it was missing everything at the gray water tank. Had to install the rubber groumet that is installed into the tank. I used a hose clamp to hold the 1 1/2 inch pipe in place at the gray water tank exit. It has worked and we have no leaks.

Mine started doing the same thing a few years back. I bought an epoxy type sealer and ran it (thickly) around the area where the pipe enters the tank. It seemed to have worked, as it has not leaked again. Home Depot or Lowe's has a bunch of joint sealing products. Should be an easy fix

Not sure about the 2720, but on my Elkmont the grey water drain pipe is clamped to a bracket that keeps it from flexing at the tank/pipe joint. But when this bracket broke, the drain pipe started bouncing, and a leak developed at the tank/pipe joint.

So, make sure your drain pipe is well supported and doesn't bounce around.
