Matt, I just did the soapy water test for leaks. I found much to my surprise the wing wells are fine, but my port gaskets , and hull to deck seams are leaking. No bubbles from under crossbeams. Does this mean my vents are clogged? Should I seal the whole hull to deck seam? Should I worry about the vents? Thanks, Brian

Is it leaking? These leaks could make other leak holes leak faster, bit if it isn't leaking... Newer 16s have been sealed all around the lip by pouring resin on the seam. |

Matt, Yes it takes on water even in rain storms! I leave the trailer jacked up in the front, and on a hill so it will drain out the plugs! I really thought there were going to be more leaks from the water I've found in it. I plan on sealing the seams, and replacing the port cover gaskets/O rings. Should I worry that she's not blowing bubbles from under the front beam where it connects to the top of the hulls? I think Caleb said at least some of the 17s have vents there. Thanks again! Brian
