[QUOTE="kalninm, post: 454390, member: 18635"] Soooooo...... update time on my leaky friend quickly turning foe..... Aside from the issue with the motor and trailer still she is still leaking....a lot.... My patches worked great no problems but looking closer now I believe it is my keel that is the problem. So I did a little looking around on here and pretty much it seems like I either clean off the whole keel area as best I can and use gluvit down it......or redo all the rivet with closed end blind rivets and 5200? Looking for any other options here. From previous owners there is a thick coat of bedliner and then flex seal on top of that down the length of the keel. The front and back of the keel leak a lot, so while my bilge pumps do plenty to keep up its annoying and a waste of battery when they run for 15 seconds every 2 minutes. So once again my arrogance is your opportunity to be my savior lol Help me out guys! Thanks [/QUOTE]
