Hey White shadow. Did this water incursion show itself anywhere else down the line. If you've read my posts I have water coming in to the vberth right by the speaker. I am wondering if you have seen any sighn there? or was it just the drip from around the trim ring of the skylight?
My next attempt will be the hinge of the anchor locker. I was at the boat yesterday and observer that at least 1-2 screws were sloppy loose. To the point that the hole might be worn out. My theory is that the more I worked the hatch/ put new fatter seal on, over the last 4 months exacerbated an...
Im putting a new VHF radio in where the old northstar was installed, what do you all use to close in the hole and install the new radio? What material have you used and whats the source? do yo try to match the beige color?
Thanks
So i got a new length of gasket from SR for the anchor locker hatch. Installed that and sadly after some rain there was water in the same area, starboard forward right near where the speaker was installed in Vberth. So frustrating. I Peeked around in hte locker as best I could and did feel a wet...
Thanks Hammer, just saw this. I was at the boat yesterday to check leaks and its still there. We've had a lot of rain in NJ this month!. Anyway so far I've re-bed the bow rail, nav light on star side. Caulked the deck hatch including screws , ran a small bead around forward sunpad rail bases.
I...
So im still searching for the leak up in the corner by the speaker that started this whole process. I went down on Sat caulkin hand and applied where I think issues may be, rubrail mostly and hatch screws. I looked in anchor locker and I think i see part of the path the water is taking. It runs...
I see, thank you. That is a shame about your laminate though. Im thinking just a bit of prep and glue it back in place and clamp tight to dry in place I hope
Congrats on your new boat, BTW.
Question, when you say cut down the bolsters do you mean length or height. I just got mine out on Sat and have them in my garage. I need to recover since they are original and now have some big stains from the leak:(
Are you recovering yourself or sending out? If...
Bringing this back up, maybe some new eyes on it will help me. I've had a small leak for about a year in 2022. I thought I had it fixed last year, maybe it was a dry summer. Anyway it came back in 23.
Now the boat is at winter storage and I go to charge batteries and inspect/swap moisture bags...
Thanks guys, I know all these products are detrimental to the vinyl and more so the stiching I've heard. I will give one or both a try though.
Do you think it spreads from the top canvas pieces? Spores flying around the cockpit
Is there another option to get rid of some black mold spots on the seats aside from the Starbright mold spray. I did repeated applications of that and the mold doesnt seem to go away, it lessens it for a week and when I come back there are spots again. Its a 2006 and the seats are original and...
