It looks like I won't have the PFC Genereux (a Krick Victoria) ready for the family reunion again this year, not enough time in the day to do what I need to much less what I want to. Anyway, I pulled the Krick Alexandra off the shelf since she is already finished, thinking I could take her to the reunion. Some of you may remember I posted a few vids of the engine back when I had some problems with it. Having sorted that out i decided to see if it would even float (since I had not done that previously!). I filled the garden tub in the master bath and plopped the Alexandra in the water. I immediately noticed a list to starboard (thats the right, isn't it?) I figured this could be easily cured with relocation of a component or two or some BB's. To get to the point, after about two hours of sitting in the water it had taken on a more serious list and was LEAKING
! At least an inch of water had found its way into the hull. I immediately snatched it from the tub and using a large syringe, sucked the water from the boat. In examining the hull I find the only place water could enter is around the propshaft and the rudder shaft, but I don't believe the rudder shaft was below the waterline. Attached is a pic so that hopefully you could assist in my determining where this is leaking. I have marked the only three locations that I can see that may be the culprit. Upon close inspection the one on the left isn't a crack at all, so I'm left with the propshaft and the rudder shaft. Suggestions?
