upon launching our Sabre last week we discovered a small leak. It is in between the stuffing box and the rudder post. I can feel a small trickle when i reach up beyond the stuffing box, and upon inspection the through hull at the rudder post is bone dry. I am unable to determine the exact source or reason of the leak. Any idea's?The leak itself causes the pump to run for about 10 sec's every 30 minutes for a total of about 1.4gal/hr. I am installing a back up pump and I am resisting hauling the boat for now.Are there any adhesives or any sort of application that can go on the hull of a boat, from the inside, that may stop this if it is a case of the fiberglass "weeping" or de-laminating? Again, there is no visible entry of the water and when I painted the bottom prior to launching there were now visible defects in the hull.Idea's are welcome, Please!!Don
