oil canning of hull on beneteau 461

[andiamo2]

I am told that I have oil canning of my hull on my 1997 461. Has anyony experienced this problem and if so can it be resolved? Is there any potential recourse to the manufacturer? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards, Tony

A 13 y.o. boat? Are you the original owner?

Hi Gunni. Yes I am the original owner of the boat.

Have seen a hull-grid separation that results in what is called oil canning. The result of a hard-grounding and our unyielding iron keels. The fix was not pretty, simple or inexpensive. You need to re-bond the grid to the hull.
