Скачать или смотреть Sunfish Sailboat Air Leak Test

How to find leaks in a Sunfish sailboat. We blew low pressure low volume air into the hull through the deck drain. Air can also be blown in through the small vent hole on the forward cockpit wall. Spray soapy water around all of the hardware and deck, top and bottom. We used Simple Green with a little Dawn dishwashing liquid added, good way to clean the boat as well. Common leak areas are the deck edge seam (on pre 1988 boats with metal trim), the mast step, the daggerboard trunk, the bailer hole seam and the gudgeon. Plus transom drain plugs if someone added them. Note the leak location and repair the damaged areas (See our fiberglass repair videos).
