@Jeadsxt... The inspection ports will leak, but a very minimal amount of water. I will drain the boat after I wash it or rains. There a only just a tiny bit of water that comes out (say a glass of water). However, I have made sure the hull is dry before sailing. After a few hours on the water, there is some water to drain (at least a few gallons). I am not leaking at the centerboard, as I have done the replacement work there (presumably without need at this point).
When I talked to Rudy about the bailer, he said he would not worry about replacing the boat if it rests on a trailer. The self bailer is not needed. I can manually pull the plug while underway and the water will get sucked out. Then close it back. But this is really something I do not use, as I have rarely dunked a rail. It is hot enough here that any spray that gets into the boat is usually made quick work of by the sun, lol. I am sure you ca relate being in TX
I have gone over the hull with a fine toothed comb, and I cannot find any damage spots either that would leak. My hull is in pretty good shape considering it's age.
@ GL... Thanks for the clarification. The caulk is on the bottom of the hull, around the bailer edges. Not sure what else you would seal a pvc/plastic to fiberglass joint with, so I guess this will just be considered a consumable on the boat, and need to be checked periodically. It looks like the PO tried to use some clear silicone, but that stuff had turned to mush and was not really doing anything anymore. That is why I asked about the caulk.
Thanks guys!
