"Unleash The Beast" Blackjack Build

Well that's the problem there's no hatch on that boat!!

Did you pressure check the cooling or just visually check it? I've been having better luck with a piece of shrink tube over the stuffing tube/flex. The cooling line seems to wear out alot quicker. May have to toss her in the bathtub and check for the leak.

IMO auto-bailers are ambulance at the bottom of the cliff things.
Seal the hatch properly and IF water seems to come in via the shaft then put a small piece of kitchen sponge under stuff tube entry in the hull near the coupler and all will be fine.

All but one of my hulls come in bone dry after any run including being towed in upside down The Canard has a tiny leak and I am buggered if I know where the water is coming in from but I'll find it and fix that too.

i pressure tested it. Hopefully its just the hatch, but ill put on the shrink tubing too

You could put it in a tub, and dye the water, as soon as you see water, pull it out, you should be able to see where (about ) it came from
