Hi, I have a 1969 sunfish. Where the back of the boat meets the bottom of the boat in back has started leaking. You can see some small cracks in that area.
We're intending to try to fix that. We were uncertain if we wanted to remove the tiller bracket or not. Our hypothesis is that the drag from the tiller weakened the fiberglass over time, so we were thinking about removing the tiller bracket and reinforcing it with a piece of wood.
What would you use to try to fix it? We bought some fiberglass repair goop made by 3m. Without having seen the issue, do you think that reinforcing the tiller bracket is necessary?
Thanks for any advice.
