What are known issues with the impulse 31?

[VJSC]

I've read multiple issues are evident with this boat but each issue seems like a unique situation and nothing really common among those that have this boat. Please post your problems.

The boat handles very well, is easy enough to work on, but I would change the following issues:
1. While the "Tupperware" lid to seal the the hull is a nice design, they defeated the seal with a two holes through the hull where the hatch pin and lock go. I've sealed these from the inside with white silicon sealant.
2. Difficult to tape hatch to the hull, due to the the shape of the hatch/hull.
3. I use MR3000 receivers in other boats and even soaked, the MR3000 never falters. While I enclose the MR200 receiver in a balloon, tape the hatch. Some occasional flips, submarining in rough water, I still find a considerable amount of water in the hull, enough to soak the balloon, moisture shutting down the receiver (then must wait for MR200 to dry out).

the only issue with mine was the two holes for the hatch and water coming in from the stuffing box tube, i sealed the hatch holes with silicone and now the only place water comes in is the stuffing box tube, i have just put silicone tubing on it and will test in a few days but i suspect that it will solve this issue.

Excuse my ignorance but whats the stuffing box tube?

[roost28]

the stuffing box tube is the brass tube that the flex cable goes in
