hole in starboard speedo pick-up behind helm seat.

[schiffsnautique]

bought a beautiful 93 sn in july. noticed water filtering in behind the helm seat running down the inner hull to the floor. found out that the previous owner had drilled holes through the hull where the speedo tubes go through for a new bimini and then stored it without any tests. of course it started out a small amount of water and then got worse. i'm now ready to fix. i realize that the foam that was sprayed into the step side needs to be cut out CAREFULLY!!. my concern is that, will i be able to mend the speedo tube effectively? and with what would be the best method to do so?

It is pretty easy to fix. You can use a double barbed fitting. Cut the tubing where it is leaking drain the tubing, its supposed to be air pressure then connect the 2 pieces with a barbed fitting. You should be able to get them at a good hardware store.
