I have a slow leak in the rear part of my boat. I'm not exactly sure WHERE its coming from. I think it might be in the rear transom, but can't be 100% sure. Its been very weird tracking this down. I tried fiberglassing a certain part, only to notice a small pinhole leak in another part.<br /><br />Question: Is there any type of hull sealer that I can paint on the INSIDE of the rear of the boat? Something that might seal up tiny pin holes?<br /><br />I was looking into basement sealers, the ones that prevent water coming in to the basement thru the concrete. THink that will seal it? Thanks.<br /><br />~Phil

Phil-<br /><br />If you're thinking about basements...You're better off sealing from the OUTSIDE. Then the water pressure is pushing the sealant into the hole. Also, you want the prevent the water from getting into the glass.
