I have '94 Achilles that has spent June thru November on a mooring all it's life. One fall after a month's absence I came to the boat and found that it had deflated and submerged the motor. I resurrected the motor and got a quart of the latex sealer sold to stop pin hole leaks. I added it to the 3 air compartments and then rolled the dingy all around the lawn to cover all the interior surfaces. Pumped it up and left it in the barn all winter. It held air fine. Still does 2 yrs later.

It has been a challenge ever since I purchased it. Dealing with keeping it clean, managing it at the marina (no dingy racks), repairs, etc. has not been fun. My current issue is a slow leak in the forward seam. I have read about a sealer that can be inserted through the air hole and is supposed to seal the seam from the inside. Several questions: has anyone had any experience with this repair, how do you get the sealant into the air hole (it seems to be too small to pour it in), do you have to remove the air intake valve, does it work, what is the best product and where can I get it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Brian Brian C. Morrison S/V Rekofa, The Blue Whale 1979 C&C 34 Baltimore, MD
