Boat Leaks Explained: Dripless Seals and a Mysterious Leak
September 07, 2024 by Pacific Solo | Language: EN Play Time: 00:12:26 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
“Does your boat leak? For many first-time buyers, seeing water in the bilge is a deal breaker. A recent visit from a prospective buyer raised concerns about water in my boat’s bilge. But here’s the truth—every boat leaks, and it’s more about understanding the cause than panicking. In this video, I reveal a secret about Dripless Seals: they actually do drip! I’ll explain why this happens and share an instant fix. Plus, I have another mystery leak on my boat that has me stumped—maybe you can offer some insight. Drop your thoughts in the comments!”

Pacific Solo
Hi, I`m Lowell, a 67-year-old rookie sailor, and a never-too-later! I preparing myself for the biggest challenge of my life: a solo journey across the North Pacific. I am a Canadian living in Japan, and in 2019, I purchased Wahine, a 1988 Gib Sea 402. I moved on board while she was moored in Tokyo. In March 2021, I terminated my contract with the Marina and have been cruising Japan full time since gaining valuable experience all the while working remotely from the boat. Wahine is my home, my studio, and my lab. Join me on my learning voyage around Japan, trying to prepare myself for Pacific Solo. If you want to see where I am please go to my website and click on the Where`s Wahine Button at https://www.pacificsolo.com Also, if you are a fellow never-too-later check out www.nevertoolateacademy.com PSThe History Channel asked if they follow me into various remote ports for a new series called Dare to Dream. The pilot airs in Japan July 24th at 8pm.
