If you can access the space between the hull and hull liner through the inspection port then you are good. You can try the sloping down hill method, but that may not work. Perhaps the water is able to exit the space when you are going uphill and then only collects in the lowest spot which appears to be under your V birth. The nice thing about getting shop vac going is as you are sucking air out, you are also pulling air in (more then likely through where ever the water came in at) which will really help dry things out quickly. --Chad On Apr 27, 2009, at 10:48 AM, Andrei Caldararu wrote:
I have had an alternative idea to drilling holes, but I don't know if it'll work -- what do you think: there is an inspection port (round, about 3-4 inches in diameter) at the front of the sleeping area. I assume that through it I may be able to access the space between the hull and the liner? I was thinking of tilting the boat with its bow way down (by driving down a steep hill) and using a plastic tube to siphon whatever water collects there.
