: I don't consider that much water to be normal, and I agree with
: Jeff that there's a leak somewhere (obviously). I just don't get
: water in my boat when I'm merely paddling around. Rolling is
: what does it, for me - I hang out upside down a lot, and any
: hole I missed lets in some water. Plus I wiggle around in the
: boat and the skirt seal gets stressed plenty.

: More silicon has usually fixed any drips I've found . . . .

: Good luck!
: Dave
My Disko bay also had a leak. I placed it stand after dark and used a flashlight on the inside and marked the pin holes with tape. Work great for me.
