Yesterday in the heavy chop, I noticed a lot of water in the cockpit during my rest stops after every hour or so, probably 2 qts. No obvious defects in the neoprene portion. I suspect that water is sieving through the top nylon fabric. Any advice as to how to seal the nylon portion of the skirt? I'm thinking something like seam-sealer for a tent or tarp. Thanks-gary

Hi Gary, This sounds like a lot of water to suddenly start to leak through the tunnel of you spray skirt. I have seen some boats start to leak @ the seam between the cockpit coaming and the deck. This assumes it is a composite boat. Hope this helps. Chuck
