[Liveaboard] Hull breach and about 2 feet of water in my boat.

I need help. I have a 30' Iroquois Catamaran that is taking on water. It's a 75 MKII. Previous owner had taken the berth out of the port hull so I have full access with the board I used to hold the bed removed. Slip is really shallow and with the lack of rain the boat was sitting on the

Hi, Vern, That sucks, for sure. As to the waterbed mattresses, yes, if you don't hole those in the same way (assuming there's something there which caused a hole). Waterbeds are tough, but not designed to resist puncture by dedicated force (spent 30+ years on waterbeds ashore). Salvage

No tide here. Part of why I was thinking a waterbed mattress or something like that to try to jack the hull up with air. I can't figure out any other way to get any lift from the bottom. -Original Message- From: liveaboard-boun...@liveaboardonline.com

So maybe...Get some waders, some plastic sheeting, rent a big pump. Start pumping, sheet as much of the aft hull as possible and see if I get anywhere. ___ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardonline.com To adjust your membership settings over

Rental companies should have high output electric or gas pumps available. Harbor Freight may have one cheap enough to buy. Something with a 2 hose. This should raise the boat, or you will see turbulence where the water is entering. Once raised, you can swim around with a plastic grocery

Not much if anything. That is why a fear this is a very big hole. The only thing that I can think of is that the skeg ripped out and ripped a hole in the hull when it did it. -Original Message- From: liveaboard-boun...@liveaboardonline.com

Something else that seems odd to me. If the hole is as big as it seems wouldn't I see some kind of marine life in the water? I haven't seen any. Maybe a large crack instead of a hole? ___ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardonline.com To
