HARPOON 5.2 Bailer Leaks

Postby candlewood 5.2 » Mon Jul 17, 2017 8:42 pm

I have two leaky bailers on my Harpoon 5.2. I have replaced the gaskets but they still leak. Any suggestions. Larry

The core of the hull and deck rots out around those. If you have not repaired or checked that, it can be the source of the leak.
The gasket may still be a problem.

Those bailers are not exactly hermetically sealed, waterproof, and all that. They tend to keep most of the water out. A little water in the sump may be the norm.
