Can you get to the area from the top? Years ago took my fiberglass boat to a Corvette body shop and repaired the crack/leak.<br /><br />Good luck

How about posting a picture or two? It may be as simple as filling the gauged area with a bit of Marine Tex or may be much more involved. I few pictures will help point the way.
