1982 AMF Sunfish PHOENIX 22 Feb 18 Leak Test and Deck Repair

22 Feb 18:

Phoenix needed a little TLC, she had a few leaks and we did an air leak test to figure out where the trouble spots are. We found several, the 2 big culprits being in the bailer hole seam and the daggerboard trunk. The funniest was Mt Vesuvius blowing out the rivet hole in the coaming.





We sealed up those areas with Pettit Flexpoxy, and we also put Marine-Tex epoxy putty over several areas where gelcoat had chipped.







We also sanded the coaming in prep for paint and installed the aluminum cockpit trim that our buddy Alan sent us.
