Sorry to bring this issue up again, but I began drilling a small hole in the front of my main bilge wall (where the bilge pump is) to drain under the liner, and drilled an 1/8" hole about 1" deep and never reached an air space????????? I drilled about 2 inches above the floor of the bilge. What's going on here? I chickened out and stopped drilling for fear of drilling thru the hull. I thought the liner was much thinner than 1". Patrick.....where are you???? Help appreciated.....Gary

Try drilling up a little higher. When Hunter drops in the cabin liner they spread in some bedding epoxy and sometime it works its way up into that air space. This happen to me a few times. Once you get through the 1/4" liner and hit that air space you can inlarge the hole and grind out that bedding epoxy. My email address is: patbfd@yahoo.com

I'll try again

Wonder how close I came to drilling thru to the outside? I will fill this hole once I get the right hole drilled. Thanks.....Gary
