[QUOTE="Driftless, post: 504836, member: 34665"] If you run a bead into the space between the two pieces, it'll bridge that gap then become like another piece of metal. From the looks of it, IMO it's light gauge metal that's flexed/bent so water is able to get behind it and go in through the rivets. So he needs to seal it up before it gets inside, behind that and into the rivets. That's a surface application. You can also 'key' in tubed material, which essentially forces it in deeper and provides a cleaner outer edge. OP, where is the water coming in from on the INSIDE of the boat? Is there an actual crack or coming in through the rivets or both? [/QUOTE]
