Default Re: I have a leak

Dixon - if it's a scupper leak, it's probably between the brass tube and the hull. Sometimes the flared ends deteriorate over time and allow a leak to develop. If you can get a hose up over the outboard stringer with boat level on trailer, you can probably fill up the area between chine and stringer with water and you might see some water seeping out between hull and stringer. Fix is to remove and replace the brass tube, but if the wood block between hull and inner liner is soaked or rotted out, you'll have to dry it out with alcohol first and then maybe fill it in with thickened epoxy and redrill the hole like I did.
