I took my sunfish that I bought used earlier this year out for the first time two weekends ago and had a blast. When I got home, I noticed some water sloshing around the hull. I’m not sure if it was there before I went out or not (I think not) but I made use of the drain plug near the splash guard. I’ll be searching for leaks later on (via shop vac and soapy water) but until anything I find gets fixed, I’m hoping that draining the hull every time I notice water inside will be enough to keep the hull from getting heavier and heavier. Fingers crossed, I’m not allowing damage to get worse if I keep going out but please let me know if it sounds like I am.
I’ve read a lot of very helpful posts about what to do with a heavy, waterlogged hull but what can one do to *prevent* a waterlogged hull?
