[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 447483, member: 22139"] First I’d put jack stands under the trailer. Then fill that sucker up with the hose. If a foot of water doesn’t make it leak then it doesn’t leak. Another option in looking for a crack is to go to a welding supply and pick up a liquid penetrant kit. The kit will consist of a cleaner, dye penetrant and a developer. Clean all the weld seams and spray on the dye. It’s like wd40 with dye in it. Let sit for 20 minutes then wipe off excess penetrant with a clean cloth. Then spray seams with developer. The developer is like snow in a can and dries white. Any cracks will show up quite visibly. It’s a welded boat. If you find the leak, have it welded rather than patching with goop of some sort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
