Tim Mc Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hi all, a mate and i recently purchased a 21 foot seafarer. We discovered water trapped in the front bulkhead of the V berth. Drilled a 150mm hole in top of bulkhead and mopped water up, bout two schooners worth. Filled up anchor well and discovered the water was leaking into the bulkhead via the eyebolt for the trailer hitch,resealed all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickman Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 tim could you post up a pic off were you drilled the 150 hole being in the bulk head it could be a structual weak point and could need compencating plates to re enforce the area not trying to be a smart ass but i would hate to see the area crack or fail cheers gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deelirious Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I have a Victory and i think I have a hatch to the area you are referring to but I'd love to see a photograph just in case. If you get a chance could you post one please? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
