Checking for water leaks

So far so good. We are going sailing this weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It stormed last weekend. If we do not find any water leaks we will return the cushions to the V berth.

Wish me luck.

Use Life Calk for Caulking around sailboat fittings (click title for link to website)

I found some caulk and tried it without removing any of the fittings. It really went on easy and so far it appears to have stopped any of the small water leaks from the rain.

It has only been applied for a week so time will tell but it looks like it is going to stay in place and accomplish the job.

Here is a website for the " Life Calk" that I used. I have seen this on other sites and in the various marine stores so it is readily available. It comes in white and black.
