Leaks Be-Gone: Highland Beach

Yesterday Roger's stern compartment was full of water again, much to his consternation.  Once again considerable effort must go to drying everything out, and he faces that every day now. We dry out the compartment and test it in the water to find the leak.

When we push down, water spouts through the fitting for the skeg cable. A quarter twist on the compression nut and the spout is history. We do not want to over-tighten and create a real problem. A couple of days later the spout recurs, and it gets another quarter twist, never to be seen again.

The leak is vanquished, and Roger is happy.
