It looks like I have water coming in around the brass tubes that go down into the scuppers on my 20-foot seacraft. It's 1974 and there is a small Gap around the end of those tubes on the bottom side of the hull. I'm sitting in the water I see a small trickle coming in. I would have to imagine there is some rot inside there on one or both around that brass tube fitting. Is it something that could be fixed or at least stopped for the short-term with 5200? Eventually I plan on separating The Owl and the liner and having the transom closed in as well as recoring the Decks as there is definite rot and saw spots on the Rays portion forward of the first large Locker. The whole around the down tubes for the scuppers seems completely solid, again although I realize there is likely rot in there. But before I do any involved repair work I'd like to get some more time out of the boat. Do you think 5200 will suffice. Again it is a small Gap but I do see water seeping in and it looks like there or cracks between the hole and around where these cover tube is class 10 just below the liner.
