Hello,
I have a 1996 harbercraft classic 12' aluminum boat purchased new in 1996 and it has been used maybe four or five times. Been sitting the last 8 years until I decided to use or sell it recently. I pressure washed it and it cleaned up nice.
I had a vague memory of a leak somewhere near the back seat during the last use so I put a little water in the boat today and found two leaks. These two leaks are along the same seam and maybe 8" apart or so. Neither leak is from the rivets, but from holes in the sealer at the seam just above the rivets. Almost seems like a bubble burst or something leaving the hole in the sealer.
The holes are in the red box in the pictures. What can I do to repair this? Is there some sort of sealer that can be injected into those little holes to seal it up?
Thanks
