First post here, looking forward to gaining some great knowledge here!
Just picked up this pontoon, needs some cosmetic work yet but I did have it out on the lake for a 2-3 hour test spin last week. I didn't see any bubbles coming from the pontoons, and i didn't hear any sloshing, but it makes me nervous because I always hear a hissing in the evening from the left pontoon, rear section. I sprayed some soapy water around, didn't see any bubbles and the noise will just disappear as time passes. Is this a leak? Is this natural pressure release? Also - no plugs on the bottom on the pontoons, just on the top.
I'm heading to Lake Otisco for 4th of July, boat runs fine just worried that I'll come out in the morning and half of my boat will be in the water...
Any tips, tricks, or reassurance that I won't have a sunken ship in a week would be great!
