I sent picture to Charlie but he might be away, I'm wondering if boat can still be use once before repairing it? It took a week for this to show, and barely a wet spot on the ground.
Don't want to do further damage.

Is boat still usable?

 :o Somebody was kinda rough on that end cap. Hopefully they didn't score up the ram or it'll keep tearing up seals.

Let me know how it goes E. Mine is weird and will leak everynow and again. Not bad and it may be a month between times it leaks. And when it does its not bad but its there.
Always something on a boat!   oo9 (ol)
