Water Leak - Zodiac Pro

[DonPeterD]

Does anyone have a drawing of the bottom hull sections?
I tried to route a gardenhose down along the port side, going in through the stern compartment. I didn’t manage to pump any water out. And now looking in through the valve with a light, it seems like the hull is in sections.
Thinking of mounting an impellerpump in the front, with a hose down the lower end of the hull. But is it possible to get a hose, to the lower rear end, from the front?

It's the stringer system.

The design is called an "OMEGA". It's an inverted rhombus shape.

Just remove and reseal your drain, and put a new o-ring on.

Aaaaannnnd... it takes in water! Seawater. [emoji849]

Took the tube of, reversed the vacuumcleaner and blowed air inside the drainplug. Soapwater on the tubeslot, nothing.

Could it enter through the wooden transom plate?

Is possible to remove the transom board? I can see a few Phillips screws, but it looks like it could be glued on?
What would one replace it with, if it comes off?

[DonPeterD]

Engine off. Air in drain hole. Washed over with soap - nothing. Nowhere.
Transom removed, was tired, but didn’t seem to be the cause either. New 40mm transom installed.

Remove tubes, battery, fuel tank.
Fill the bow locker with water completely.
Fill the deck with water completely (up to gunnel edges)
Let it sit for 1 hour full.
Check for drips

That’s more the twice the maximum load rating. If that’s not going to split it in half, I’ll gladly take it WOT round the NW passage [emoji41][emoji305]

It'll be fine, I do it all the time.

Load rating is based on static buoyancy.

What do you support it on?

Trailer. If it's a really bad trailer (rusty), I put a few jackstands underneath it to support the load when the trailer starts to sag.
