You're making progress at least! That's what I tell myself to keep on going at this project!Thanks for the pics Greg. That is a major project!
I took my boat out this weekend, and it turns out I still have a leak somewhere. At first, everything was dry, but as the wind picked up, I started to get some water in the sette and running down the channel next to the keel trunk that leads to the area near the volcano tube. S*$%&!@!!!
The upside was there was a lot less water. I had less than a gallon of water, but it is still a major disappointment. The other positive was there no water in the bow area, liked there has always been in the past.
I think I might have some other damage to my keel trunk, probably from an accidental grounding. The areas in my sette don't look like those in Greg's pics 1015 and 10151. There has obviously been a lot of glass work done in a couple of areas. I'll post some pics soon.
I also took the opportunity to dive the bottom of my boat. I didn't have a tank, so the effort did not reveal much, but I did see a crack across the keel trunk near the aft of the trunk area. I couldn't tell if it was a crack in the paint or in the fiberglass.
I'm going to give this a shot this weekend.or buy a tube of gasoila , it is green goo that turns yellow when water hits it, just smear some along a surface and watch for color changes, lasts longer than chalk for some locations.
I did this last weekend. I couldn't tell where the water was actually seeping in. I'm heading out to the California Delta this weekend. I'm going to try spreading some Gasolia on the areas in question and see what happens. More to come...You're making progress at least! That's what I tell myself to keep on going at this project!
You probably going to have to take the boat out the water and drop the keel to get a better idea of what is the problem area.
Sorry I find that funny... but I am living the nightmare!I did this last weekend. I couldn't tell where the water was actually seeping in. I'm heading out to the California Delta this weekend. I'm going to try spreading some Gasolia on the areas in question and see what happens. More to come...
By the way, I had a nightmare about having to cut open the liner to get to the keel trunk. Yikes!!!!
