The last two seasons, I hunted for a slow leak on the transom of my mid cabin. I thought it was the trim tab mounting hardware, so i went to town on the fiberglass last year. I sanded, filled, epoxied until I thought for sure that there was no way water could be getting in. Well, last year that dang water was still seeping in.
This year, I decided to dig deeper. I removed the rudder and determined it was not coming in there. Then I saw some spider cracking. I got a little crazy and sanded deeper than I felt comfortable. Well, dang it, I found a void. This has to be it!
I repaired this with some West System Six Ten thickened epoxy resin and some matting. Tomorrow I will sand it down and see if it did the trick. These projects never end! Here's a picture of what I would assume is a defect from the factory. Dang air bubbles could be the death of me...
Oh and while i was at it, I installed some Lumitec Seablaze X lights! These things are gonna be sweet.
