Highfield OM 500

[Daffy]

I am a new owner of a 2016 Highfield OM 500. Does anyone else get leakage through the rivets and grommet on the stern? They seem to be splash proof rather than water tight.

Thanks

I've had a Highfield from new about one and a half years ago and as far as I've seen there is no leaks.

But you could expect some electrolysis over time depending how well the craft has been washed down after use.

If that is the case the engine would be a bigger concern.

Either way replace the rivets and grommets and it should be OK.

I owned a 2014 om500 and was as good the day i sold it in 2018 as when new ,however from memory i dont remember any rivets or grommets ,where do you mean ??
