Russ - I had a crack at the base of the mast post that I repaired with
Marine Tex. I also marine texed down the strips of fiberglass that attach
the post and then made a 2 inch high collar of marine tex around the mast
post. This keeps the water in the liner and out of the hull. Several
times I had a gallon or more of water in the hull before I did this. I
have a driveway that tilts down hill and was able to position the trailer
so the water ran far enough forward to sponge it out. This is no longer a
problem. Oh, I also caulked around the little holes where the wiring goes
through the liner. Best of Luck - Eric
