47823, Fixin leaks
Posted by Bassin, Fri Mar-10-17 04:09 PM
I have a very slooooow leak in one of my Versa Vessel pontoons. I haven't been able to find it yet. Just curious, has anyone ever used that "Slime" stuff in their pontoons? Not sure if it would work in this application but it is an idea.

I have the same problem, tiny leak that I can't find x(
I have not tried slime. I just stopped looking and add a few pumps of air every other day. :+

If I remember, Eric Howard and John Lake both used duct tape ( sometimes a lot! :+ )

Did you Check around the cone and the center nut on the cone and check the inside part of the valve itself without the cap on.

So I went back and checked the cones again and have found a very small amount of air coming form the cone. Now the question is how do you guys fix this kind of leak?

Loosen the cone, clean out the old silicon then seal around the perimeter with new Silicon and tighten it back up.
