Well guys. I've installed the screw in water inlet (which was a bitch mind you). I did a run. Hatch sealed. Never rolled. Still leaking. It's leaked all 4 times I've run it. After each run it has about 2oz of water. And a light "mist" on the underside of the radio bay cover. Any ideas?
31 leaking still

try putting a little bit of plastictubing on the stuffing tube where the flex shaft comes in to the boat.Last edited by roadrashracing; 08-02-2011, 01:12 PM.Comment

I don't think that's what that was for. I used it to hold the nut to put the turn fins on. It'll be hard to get a piece of silicone fuel tubing on there because the stuffing tube only sticks out about a 1/4 inch or so. Did you grease your flex shaft real good?Comment

The outside water gets drawn up the stuffing tube that the flex cable runs in. You always need to put a piece of fuel tubing over the stuffing tube or water is pumped up the flex shaft into the boat. In addition to the piece of fuel tubing, which you did, put a tie wrap onto the fuel tubing. Sinch the tie wrap up so that there a little resitance between the fuel tubing and the flex shaft. This will insure that no more water gets into the boat via the stuffing tube.Comment
