Folks, I found one of our club boats (stored outside and upside down) filled with water in the back hatch after the recent rain. Upon inspection, the guilty culprit was found: the skeg cable housing had detached from the skeg box.
This boat is a polyethylene Capella with a rope/bungie skeg system. The cable was held in place by some sort of putty that, at first glance, looked like hardened epoxy putty, but is actually sort of rubbery to the touch. Does anyone know what this stuff is? Looks like I'll have to reapply it to fix the leak.
Thanks,
Andrew
