I had to take my pontoon to the welder, Easter weekend I put it in the water for the first time since I got it last fall. after loading it back up on the trailer and lowering the hardtop and securing it to the trailer, I noticed a lot of water running out of the bottom front of the one log, I took it home, and the next day it was still dripping water. the welder told me there must of been water in the log, and over winter it froze and split the weld at the seem. it now is fixed and ready to get back in the water and do some fishing.my question here is, first off the pontoon is a 1986 SanPan 24' how does the water get in there first of all, and if I remover the drain plug at the back of the log, will that drain the whole log? I have two caps on the top of each log, so i assume it has two chambers to each log. how does the water come out of the front chamber or doesnt it? I store it outdoors in the weather. should I add anti-freeze to the logs? I never had to deal with anything like this before, this is my first pontoon.
