I've got a small leak I'm chasing. The cat bag in the inspection port at the stern gets damp and that's the only way I know there's a leak. I've got a port near the bow and near the stern. I suspected the rudder mount and did a leak test as per instructions and it passes. But it doesn't test the inspection port.
These are new ports so the o-ring shouldn't be worn. Still, I inspected it for any tears or damage and it looks fine. I inspected the sealant around the border and around the screws and it looks sealed.
Has anyone had trouble with the cat bag and port not sealing? I bought the port and bag from the same company.
Maybe I'll just pour water over just it with a hose to test it and make sure it's the port that's leaking in order to cover all basis. But how to test what on the port is leaking has me scratching my head.
