[Public-List] Pre-liner water tank cover leaking

[mahseer at kos.net]

It is interesting because my pre liner boat 1969 #380 has the water tank
in the centre below the "V" berth.  In your case create extra thickness
over the current hole with glass then replace with a transparent cover,
this way you can view without removing the top.

> Seagrass is a pre-liner boat, and I'm using the original water tank in

> no more than 3/4 full or it leaks. I've taken the cover off, cleaned
> both surfaces, re-gooped with 4200 and reattached the screws and we
> still get leaks. The screws just don't hold well.  Note that the cover
> includes the fill pipe, and fittings that lead to the sink.
