Hello to all.
I went on the water most of today and I just got home. I found today the bulkhead on my Necky Chatham 17 (plastic) is leaking at the 6:00 position. If I push on it the bottom will move back and forth about 3/16 of an inch.
I am thinking I could use a syringe and a needle with a larger bore to squirt glue into the place that it's become loose, until it oozes out both side so I would know I got it all filled up. But I don't know what kind of glue to use. The bulkhead is foam, and about 2" thick as near as I can tell. Have any of you done such repairs and if so , what is recommended?
I thought about Barge Cement because it will grab foam, but I am unsure and if something else is better I'd love to know about it.
