[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 245809, member: 7544"] I put my boat in the river today to do some carb adjustments and to see what effect removing the water logged foam and raising the motor 1" had. The good news is I gained some speed as it tops out at 27.5 mph now. The bad news is that I discovered a leak. It's leaking where the floor meets the transom. Right on the weld. I guess I'm getting lazy as I'm debating whether to clean the area and apply some 5200 inside and outside or take the motor off and haul it 30 miles to get it welded. I was on the river for about 30 minutes and had about a pint of water in the boat so it's a pretty slow leak. What would you guys do? [/QUOTE]
