Title: Mystery Leak Solved
Post by: c34member on May 29, 2001, 09:10:41 AM
Many thanks to Bob Lancaster of Sjora (#1420).  I have had a leak since commisioning last year that turned out to be just what he suggested: a missing bolt in the rub rail.  Apparantly, when the clowns at the factory can't get a bolt to cooperate, they just pull it and move on.  We both had a 1/4" hole in the spot where the head/NAV station bulkhead meets tha hull.  The scuppers dump half the deck water on either side of that low spot.  I put a huge squeeze of Boat Life caulk into the hole and set a well caulked 1/4" x 1" pan head screw into the hole.  Something to check if you have a leak in the head that appears from under the countertop.  Thanks again Bob.
