The Hazards of Boat Leaks
Boat leaks are a serious maintenance hazard and not only could they result in dangerous predicaments, but they if not detected on time, they can break down surfaces and ruin the entire vessel. Older boat models are prone to leaking because of age, wear and tear and deterioration. Newer models can be subject to leak issues due to material cost savings, thinner laminates to decrease weight and increase speed and diminished workmanship.
It is interesting to realize that a ¼” hole can sink a 30-feet boat!
