Removing water and installing garboard drain from Carolina Skiff 21 DLX. These boats are made with a solid foam and fiberglass hull and technically don't have way for water to enter the hull, thus drains are not installed. This experiment will prove otherwise.

Always a good idea to chamfer the edges of any holes you drill through the gel coat. Not only will it prevent the gel coat from spider cracking but it also makes a little void for the 5200 to sit in which will form like a little gasket. Also its never a good idea to use an impact when installing screws into fiberglass as its almost a guarantee that you will overtighten them. Should always do them by hand with a screwdriver and stop as soon it gets tight.

I agree.. when ever you expose open wood it’s good to seal it back up with resin..nice job though. Did something similar on my bayliner..it’s amazing the amount of water that comes out..

Is the boat in brackish or salt water? Stainless steel screws on a brass garboard will cause galvanic corrosion when immersed in salt water, which will corrode your drain.

Capt. MacGyver you got my thumbs up. Thanks for doing something many of us would not attempt. The threaded brass fittings are a brilliant idea for future inquiry. I wonder if any attempt setting up a blower of sorts ( from a ducted fan to maybe hair dryer) to provide air flow over an extended period of time during off season may do some "drying" of the saturated foam. I also wondered about using some kind of low temp heat pads to help vaporize the water. Excellent video, I'm definitely doing this to my 21 DLX.

You could place that boat in the middle of Hell and it wouldn't dry out. ONLY ONLY ONLY way to dry out a wet boat or wet foam is to open it up and remove the damage. To clarify this.. I just cut a stringer out of a 69 mako that I have had the floor out for 5 years and the stringer was still wet with the 600 lbs of wet foam removed 5 years ago. I left the water melon like foam in a trailer covered in NC for the Summer and decided to check it months later,., Well it was still like a juicy water melon. I do give you an A+ for effort,. but Your headway did not match your efforts. These old boats rot like this because the water CAN NOT be extracted except by a total renovation. and most just won't do that. Even putting the boat in a Kiln will not pull that trapped water out of the foam,. And any state that has freezing weather just breaks more closed cells and the Cancer grows until you STOP it. I'm not going to put a percentage out but about all boats that sit out more than 1-2 years has water damage, add 15-20 years to that and you can probably do your own math as to how many boats are water logged to some degree. if not severely,.. The few boats kept under cover are the only survivors. I have tore 2 boats down, my neighbor had a NC Skiff, and after helping me on mine, when he got water from screws holding his transducer at transom,.,. he got rid of his boat. Cheers everyone.

@MikeRose1 15 дней назад

@johnnorris1227 3 года назад
It will dry out you just gotta get air flow to and around it which isn't so easy in a lot of cases. If you can warm the air some thats even better. I had some water logged foam in my little center console and i was able to dry it pretty much all the way out. Had to open a couple round inspection plates and pumped warm air in one hole and it exhausted out the other. Took a few days but it was pretty much bone dry after I got done.

Economy polyester resins used in some boats are not impermeable to water. They absorb water from the bottom and top surfaces, particularly if the boat is left in the water or if the boat is outside and gets wet with rain. If you attempt to remove the water from the saturated foam the problem will continue unless you make the hull waterproof. Epoxy based bottom paint and epoxy topside paint will help seal the surfaces. Best bet is to buy a hull made with isophthalic polyester resin which is more waterproof than the cheaper orthophthalic polyester resin. You get what you pay for.

Here’s an idea. We all understand why a boats foam core should always stay dry, which is the same principle as a fiberglass surfboard. Years ago, my son had a used Lost Surfboard were you actually pumped in air through a recessed valve which pressurized the whole board for controlled riding stiffness. So I gave it a try and watched the pressure gauge leak down to zero very quickly. The surfboard didn’t have any open holes or cracks, so I shot some more air pressure in and sprayed some soap and water(like finding leaks on a tire) all around the board which produced several leaks from the various cracks. I made the appropriate repairs with no further leaks. I plan on trying this method on my son’s new/used 1968 Boston Whaler 13 and see what show up.

I was worried about hitting the bottom too but I just took my time and the bit seemed to ride just on top of the bottom. I don't think the bit could make that sharp of a turn to damage the bottom.
@miketee2444
@miketee2444 3 года назад
Sadly the only way to fix saturated foam is to cut the floor out. Water won't drain out of it. I have tilted a boat up, drilled a few 3" holes in out of the way spots in floor and forced air through for days on end with no good results. Dig that foam out and be done with it.
@johnnorris1227
@johnnorris1227 3 года назад
The best way I have found to dry the foam out is if you can get some good air flow around it and heat the air some not hot hot but warm enough to help dry everything out. May never get 100% bone dry but it will remove most of the moisture. Those bags or canisters that draw moisture out of the air will help to. Whats key and usually the hardest part is figuring out how the water got in there to begin with and resolve that issue or else your just pissin into the wind.

According to people I know, it is a problem with all Carolina Skiffs built back then.

After talking with people that had newer CS boats and they hadn't had an issue with water below the floor, I decided to buy the new 2180 DLX. Seeing the drains already installed was somewhat comforting, but only time will tell. It's been right at a year, and no water has come out the drains, so I'm still a happy owner.
