[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 312463, member: 4469"] Just thought I would tell you guys flooding the inside of your boat to find a leak works. I had a leak on my boat I could not find, had to pump maybe 5 gallons every 2 hours. So late last year I put the water hose to the inside and let it run till I finally saw some drips near a reinforcement rib 2/3 of the way up the boat. Right at the forward part of the rib. Did not take much water, maybe 20 gallons. In any case, I still could not see a hole or leaky rivet. So I just gooped the rib - hull union up with 3m 5200. It sat all winter, I took it out about a week ago and not one drop leaked in a 6 hour trip. Hope it holds. A good idea I got here, thanks guys. Tim [/QUOTE]
