This is what I did. Bought an ACE 3/4" plummer's putty roll, the width fits perfectly on the rudder bracket base of the Revolt 30, I custom cutted the length, then I pushed the bracket against a flat surface to flaten the piece of putty until I got a 1mm film like thickness, removed with an exacto the putty excess and then removed the nonstick backing paper. With a piercing driver I made a hole the diameter of the back plate screw and removed away the excess putty around the hole, positioned the rudder bracket back in place, tightened the screw to the back plate and finally removed the excess putty around the bracket base on the exterior of the hull. Voila! no more leaking plus since I did not have to wait for the seal to cure or dry I was in the water in no time. Thank you Dana and Tlandauer for the suggestions
P.S.: Maiden run was a total success. This thing is fast but a battery thirsty tazmanian devilLast edited by gyrotron; 08-03-2012, 05:50 PM.Comment

Well I guess the reference point I am using for such definition is my other boat which is a Thunder Tiger Outlaw Jr which sucks a 3s 2200 mAh battery in about five mins to 3.65v and the Revolt 30 takes a 4s 5000mAh battery in 3 mins to 3.60v. Since I am a newbie it appeared to me, compaired to the Outlaw, that the Revolt was a power hungry boat...thats allComment
