I have an older tandem oasis (one with bow hatch, and 3 circle hatches) ) that's been taking on gallons over 4-5hr trips in the ocean. I cannot find the damn leak for the life of me. I've tried my compressor and soapy water, I've dried the inside and shot it with the hose, esp around hatches, i have hosed the steering lines and handles, inspected scupper/seat holes, retightened hatches, checked/silicone greased orings (no rolling). Is there somewhere I missing??? It is a considerable leak, so I'm pretty concerned and it's keeping g me from fishing where I really want to for safety reasons. I've sealed all pole holders and Ama brackets with 5200, so I know for sure it isn't that. It's driving me crazy because I can't find the leak and it's big enough that I should be able to very easily. Only thing I haven't done is seal the circle hatches with 5200 as the gaskets all looked in good shape. Please help if you can!
