Re: Muskrats...fresh water boaters take note
Also, does anyone have suggestions on blocking water at the hull so this can be done in the water? Is there a tape or plastic sheet that would work? I just paid for a hull out to fix the leak on the starboard exhaust flange, it was leaking at the hull.
Thanks

On mine I have a flange sticking out, so it was easy to wrap some plastic over it and just tape it to the flange.
On yours, you could get a wheel barrow tube. Cut it in half, closer to the valve. Seal both ends closed (5200 and a good tie-wrap would probably do the trick. Stick the "long" end into the exhaust with the valve end sticking out. Use a bike pump to fill the tube until it makes a seal around the edges.
