[quote=gahamby]If you are concerned about the water tightness of the hulls put them under a slight positive pressure. Use the drain plugs as an air inlet. Fashion a fitting to adapt a shop vac outlet. You could also use a schrader valve adapted to the drain plug and a bicycle pump. Once under pressure use soapy water on all fittings and seams to check for leaks. Don't forget to check the drain plugs themselves. The are a prime suspect for leaks. I can't suggest using an air compressor for this process. You could pop the hulls. Be sure to seal up the mast at all the fittings.
Check all the clevis pins and rings for corrosion. I have had clevis rings disappear on me because the wore out where they passed through the pin.[/quote]
