Dinghy Water Leak

[Jeff Bacon]

Hi All:

My dinghy has developed some water leaks where the bottom of the dinghy is attached to the tubes.
It's a PVC Zodiac with a blow up floor, and is about 8 years old.

I am curious if there is a product that, for the sake of discussion, I'll call liquid PVC, that can be painted on the outside seams of the boat to reseal the seams ? Maybe for a season or two ?

Any help would be great !!!

Thanks...... Jeff

Jeff,

I had the same problem with an old (1997) Zodiac that came with my boat when I bought her three years ago. The floor was pulling away from the tubes in several places. Here's what I used:

Worked great. Gave me another two seasons.

get yourself a repair kit from West Systems. The glue is excellent epoxy and will hold the seams together better than the original glue.
