Leak

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix a leak (and spot it) every time we take it out, she fills up with water. We have sealed a gap where the deck meets the hull (are gaps common on lasers)?

Thanks
 
To spot the leaks put some soapy water on the hull, centreboard case, gunwhales and self-bailer and blow air through the transom drain hole.
 
There is an intentional vent just below your main sheet cleat, tape that when you test your hull but uncover for normal use or you could burst your hull with sunshine.... Also watch the pressure others have warned about excessive pressure making your problems worse. A hand pum for inflatables should give you plenty of pressure. Don't go with 100psi from a compressor....
