I camp on my pontoon and the other night I though if my toons had a leak and my boat started to sink I would possible drown in my tent which I have on the front deck. My neighbor said to fill the toons with foam since I take it on salt water most of the time I don't want to sink 2 miles of shore but I read foam could get water logged and ruin the toons (still seems to be a good idea)? I have found a screw-in plastic bolt on each 8' toon so 2 on each side.
Should I fill the toons with foam for safety? Is there some type of gauge you can put in the toons that if it gets submerged with water it will let you know? Any early way of knowing your toons are sinking other than gauging the water level on the outside of you toons each time I go out?
