Message: <blockquote data-quote="KevinWI" data-source="post: 318454" data-attributes="member: 7422">LOL....there is still a leak, but it's a lot less than before. Had 4 people in the boat for 4 hours and there wasn't enough for the bilge to suck. I think there is a pinhole near the weld but on the bottom that he didn't see from his position welding. Said when he was arcing the weld, the crack was bigger than we could see by naked eye...but the arc illuminates the crack so welded a longer patch seam. Then he mentioned paint contamination issue while he was welding. The seam is welded well, I think the pinhole can be patched using 3M 5200 and call it good. The seam crack was important to be welded for structural stability.Funny thing....I was pulling my boat at the launch by myself which I do often....my dad was on the way over to give a hand, but gave the motor a good goose to get the boat all the way on the trailer ......my dad says.... " now we know why you have leaks in your boat." LOL  8)</blockquote>
