    What Leak ? The Dog did it

    Like many of us, I get a few teaspoons of water in the bilge after a short run. Usually blame it on the poor stuffing tube the way I blame the dog for that funny smell after I digest my favorite gutbomb burrito. Just used my leaktester to check out the FE30 for a race this weekend and bingo - several tiny leaks around the water jacket & its fittings. Deployed the Seal-All and no more dribbling. Might try it on the dog if I can get him to hold still still enough

      Jeff, I hear you. Sport hydro's are a tough boat to tape up watertight. My scale Coast Guard boat was so leakey that I put an autobailer on it and now it stays dry

          Might end up needing to do something like that if I can't get a grip on it soon.
          Long a the motor stays cool I am not to worried about it gotta love the watertight aqua 60.

          Anyone make a small autobailer?
