Hey All,
I have had my first boat, 1989 Sylvan supersportser (aluminum), for just under two years.
This was my first full summer with the boat on the lake. The question I have is regarding a leak. I am planning on taking care of it this over the winter. I believe the majority of my problem is water coming in the seam between the back of the boat where the motor hangs on(transom?) and the flat metal thats immediatly on the inside of the boat.( can see in the picture). From reading here, I was planning on cleaning out old siclone out of the seam and filling with the Gluvit..
Also, my floors are in great shape, so I am unsure how to inspect the rivets to see if they are leaking?
Any advice/ plans to diagonos and repair are greatly appreciated!
Shane
