I know I have been a pain in the @#$ since I got my Adventure what with my rudder and steering mechanism complaints but I have discovered a further far more serious problem with it. The last week it has been taking on alot of water on a flat inland lake - I took it out this afternoon for exactly 1 hour to measure how much water it took on and I was shocked. Unfortunately I couldnt lift it to get it on my car to bring home to measure the water because of the weight of the water so had to drain it and I would guess there was 3-4 buckets full at least.
When I got home I put a few inches of water into the hull and discovered a rapid leak at the very front of the Mirage drive well. There appears to be 2 small cracks running front to back on top of the small 'shelf' at the front of the drivewell. I have taken a small .avi movie to show you and couple of pics and have forwarded them via email.
This looks like the Outback crack problem all over again...enough to make a grown man cry!!
