Hello Everyone
New owner of a 2002 Hunter 356.
A previous owner sprayed expanding foam into the space between the hull and the shower pan in the wet bathroom. When I purchased the boat the head was leaking and a mix of urine and water was draining into the shower drain. It turns out the head wasn't sealed to the pan and so that liquid was also leaking into the bilge via the lag screw holes holding down the head. The urine odor in the head is remarkably overpowering. Looking online I get mixed information about whether or not that foam is absorbent. Might anyone here on the forum have experience or views about this? Removing the foam would require cutting a large hole in the shower pan and so I don't want to tackle it if it's not necessary.
Thanks,
Jim
