I did g-flex on the keel joint year before last. Pleasantly surprised at haul
out last fall.
I plan to pull the mast the end of this season and torque the bolts. Hoping I
don’t have to redo the keel joint…again.
So far, I’m a fan.

It's also pretty easy to weld yourself. I posted an in depth report on the
subject about 10 months ago. Good skill to have in your back pocket. I now
use the same approach with other cracked plastics around the house.

Mine cracked up and over the side and top, luckily near an area we had

Not sure if you want to give it a try or if you're already past that point,
but a small gfl
I replaced Touche's fresh water tank with a flexible bladder tank. It's
great! Each spring I simply unscrew the fill nozzle and discharge
fittings, drag it out on the dock and rinse it clean. Throw it back in and
good to go. Takes about 20 minutes.
There have been lots of threads on cracked ri
I'm in the process of replacing both my water tanks with Plastimo
Bladder tanks that I bought from our friend at Holland Marine. I got 2
52 gallon tanks for about $320. I got quotes from 4 or 5 places, for
stainless, aluminum, plastic and bladders.

Try Ronco Marine Tanks. They may have the exact tank, or at least something

Hi,
After several attempts to repair a leaky (and cracked) water tank, I am
really in the need of replacement. The tank is approx.. 40 gal. and fits
under the port side couch seats. I'm guessing the tank is 20+ yrs old. I

G-Flex is my go to - it's inexpensive and comes in a caulking gun cartridge.
I used it to cover my keel joint before adding fairing compound and bbottom
paint. Fairing Compound doesn't seal water very well so you need something
strong and a little flexible. This is my first time using it below the
I am in the middle of doing exactly what Dennis describes, except we are using
