I headed down the the boat yesterday armed with wrenches to try tightening the through-hull and, if that failed, teflon to follow John's suggestion of backing off the nut and getting some teflon under there. I met the yard mechanic at the boat as I figured it would be good to have a second person around for this job.
Well, after 4 days the backing wood had expanded enough to stop the leak. So we both decided it was best to leave well enough alone and just keep an eye on it. Assuming it behaves for the summer, this will be my first job upon haul-out. Boat ownership is a bit masochistic...I've only been in the water 4 days and already I have haul-out jobs planned! Thanks for the suggestions...i may have to follow-up with them before the end of the season anyway. Mike Atacama. 33 mkii Toronto Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.
