Re: Slow leak

It looks like the top of the tube might be at or below the waterline. If that is the case you would have to have a really good seal to keep water from seeping thru.

On power boats with similar rudders there is a lot of pressure on the side facing the water flow when the rudder is turned. This pressure will force water up thru the tube unless it is well sealed.

Happy paddling.
