To the best of my understanding 3M 5200 and Marine Grade silicon are 2 different things.
If i wanted to fasten and seal something to my motorhome and unable to use mechanical fasteners, 5200 is a great choice.
I have seen people use 5200 and then clamp it,or screw it down very tight. Over clamping squeezes it out and ruins its adhesive quality's so might as well use a cheaper product.
Not to be misconstrued as a professional opinion or wisdom, simply 60 years of putzing with stuff. Jim
