Re: 99 Super Hawk. Repair, Transform, Rig
Well, I got the front and back decks off again. I was hoping to find a damaged livewell hose at the fitting on the waterline, but they both looked ok. So....I put the plug in and filled her with a lot of water. Enough to be deep enough to cover all but two thru hulls and much higher than I'd seen it in the bilge when I realized there was a leak. The picture shows what I found. I tiny leak just below the drain plug in the keel. It was a drip about every 7 seconds. Not near enough in that direction to account for the leak I was having while on the water. Not sure if it is a different thing when the water pressure is coming from the outside in. Here is the picture.
