Depending on what you find, oil soaked rags may make a temp seal. I use non toxic salad oil. Unless there is something bad in your harbor mud, the Indian River water is not toxic, I swam in it to clean boat bottom and lived. Lee Haefele On May 1, 2012, at 10:01 PM, JohnB catsai...@gto.net

Wondering if the stern locker is full from the skeg breaking off and if the water looked like it wasn't going down because it was coming from there as I pumped it out. I guess I will find out soon. 2 pump should almost be enough to pump the whole river out. -Original Message- From:

So not a good day at all. Got the 3 pump and managed to pump the hull out enough to see not only the last thing I expected but the last thing I wanted to see. There is a 4 concrete piling skewering my hull. I was able to slow the water down enough that the sump pump is keeping it almost empty.
