[EXTERNAL] [C400] Screw drilled through hull bottomby Rudder. Post

Hi Mark:
If you can remove the screw, a temporary fix might be as follows;
If you’re planning to have your boat pulled at the end of the season, this temporary repair should eliminate or minimize the leak until then. On the hard, have the leak filled with glass and a proper battery box (fiberglas) built and installed.
…your thoughts?

I’ve been chasing a trickle of a leak that creates a constant puddle in the bilge. I finally tracked it down to a screw the PO drilled thru a 2x2 wooden stringer he placed under a plywood shelf to support the start battery located just
aft and starboard of the rudder post under the starboard lazzeret. The boat is in the water is in the water as being self frequently . Remove the crudely built battery support and install glass in a proper battery support system while doing it see you
off the screw hole all the while the boat still in the water |
