[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 113344, member: 2096"] I know I will get it fixed. Just frustrated that I let it happen. Hanr, I need to take the entire tube assembly out. First, I can probably cut the tubes at the end near the front of the boat and then work down from there to repair the hole I drilled. This isn't going to fix the problem i started with. Somewhere under the tubes I let the A/B foam block my drainage. I am going to pull the entire tube assembly out, pull the pink foam under it out and find where the problem is and fix it. Then I can address the hole in the boat properly and put stuff back in. The big problem I have is how to get to the hole. I either need to cut out a section of the rib or the strake. I would rather work from the top down instead of the bottom up. Then once I have that done how do I repair the rib? At this point I am thinking that I will use two pieces of aluminium angle. If I cut it long enough to put two rivets on each side of the hole I cut in the rib then the angle should be stronger then the rib I remove. I guess I will find out soon enough, I am almost through the day and can get back to finding out where the darn new hole is in my boat. [/QUOTE]
