Alameda Island Fisn-n-Sail 04-07

Could the leak be coming from behind?  Like the 2 holes where the steering cables goes through?

could....I know its not the rear or center hatch. I have the bucket in there w.o the lid and it was bone dry inside. I will have to check that area as well.

Looks like a load of fun was had by all. Someday Chuck.

Hi Guys I had the same problem last year when I got my AI, the first rough water sail I had about a gallon in my hull so I started looking and this is what I did.  For the front hatch I removed both seal and re-installed then with Goop, I installed wire seals on the rudder lines, not sure if it made any difference but it made me fill better. And every time I go out I put 303 (Aerospace Protectant) on the front hatch seals and the two 8” hatch seals making sure they are clean and lubed. This trip I like you had several under-water accuracies and at the end of the day I had about a cup or less in the hull. Here’s a couple of pics for you before and after of the rudder lines.

Great shots Armando.  Thank you.  What camera were you using for those pics?  I noticed you had a GoPro, but I've never really used mine for still shots.  Maybe I should.

I got them from work I will ask where we can order them and get back to you.

It's an old Sony DSC-V3, Point and Shoot Camera for the still shots. I have not upload the go pro video clips yet. My go pro has been acting up recently since  it fell off from the tripod mount.

Here is a gopro still shot Chuck.  Not sure what the site will do the quality though.

The site really reduces the quality.   

kinda long....not to exciting. Still learning the GoPro3. The battery life isn't as long as I had hoped.
