leaky boat

[Eyekandyboats]

well i have been running my toysport triton a couple times and it was in rough water and i used the flood chamber a lot. And well when ever i got back it had water in it ( about half a cup)
But i put it in the pool to float it and try to find where the water was comming in from ,nothing i could not for the life of me find where it was coming in!. flex shaft ? no because there wasn't even a grease line. and no place else.

Well i had a hunch that the water was coming in from the flood chamber wall.
So i filled the flood chamber with red water and then put pressure on it and There we go!.
I had 3 holes up close to the bow, 2 on the hull side and 1 on the deck side

it was solved. Man it got me really mad trying to find it !

Thats all just thought i'd share. Todays a holiday in Canada so i'm super bored.

Thats cool taylor...I bet that flood chamber ROCKS!

When I flipped 4 laps into the last heat yesterday racing my Titan29 I was wishing I had a flood chamber ;-)

Yeah but some times depending on racing if you flip, your boat is disqualified.
It is there so you don't need a retrieval boat. But there have been some times where my no step one collied with a toysport syncron in N2 and we both flipped. But upon the toysport flipping over his rudder caught my boat and flipped it as well !
so you don't need to have a flood chamber to self right. LOL
