Leaky Boat

[kokko]

Per greenlake, I have been using butyl rubber tape to bed all my hardware. It is easy to handle, never hardens and always remains tacky.

Got to sail today with the girls (finally after weeks). We had a a nice time, but the wind was on and off, so that was frustrating. The wind would be totally dead at times leaving us idle, and then a massive puff would come and shoot us down the way a stretch. That was strange for me as I am used to having some consistency in speed followed by a puff, vs dead calm shifted to turbo charged, lol. Anyway, just wanted to report back. We were out for a while, and when I got the boat back home there was still water in the boat, but only a very little bit. We have had a bunch of rain lately and I did not check the bilge before going out, so who knows... May have been rain water?

Whatever the case, the bailer sealing seemed to be impactful.

hmm. "impactful".

Glad you've closed of (most of) your leak.
