Reply to: Leaking Hull

[quote=ericweller]All, I have a 2006 Capricorn that has a leaking hull. This leak has been aggravating me ever since the boat took a bounce on the trailer fender. It leaks about a half gallon after a six hour day which is not much but the other hull is bone dry. The leak is right at the seam where the 2 hull halves are joined together. There is a small hairline crack about 6 inches long right over the seam. I have repaired this leak 3 times now but it keeps coming back. The last time, I opened the crack up and ground it down through the gelcoat down to the foam core. I also drilled a hole at the start and end of the crack and then filled the repair with glass cloth and resin. Then the repair was re-gelcoated. The repair will hold for a couple months but then the crack will reappear in the exact same spot. I think trailering may have something to do with the crack reappearing but I can't be certain. I have my cradles padded and the crack appears forward of the cradle on the trailer. Can someone give me a technique that will correct this once and for all? Thanks![/quote]
