        <![CDATA[ I have just recently noticed that I have a steady stream of water coming from the strut after the boat has been used.

The boat is new C950.

Has anyone had this problem before and what was required to fix it.


Thanks Don Paget ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ The strut leak is usually caused by vibration from an out of balance prop or an engine that&#39;s out of alignment. The vibration breaks the glassed seal
between the hull and strut leg female housing allowing water to seep or weep in. The strut itself is epoxied into and bolted thru the female piece which is
glassed into the hull, It&#39;s a real project to remove the strut and its housing so the easy fix is to grind out a deep groove around the female casting
between it and the hull and fill... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Don,
<br>
Don&#39;t feel bad, I had the same problem and the same guys tried to fix the problem. They blamed it on my Autoprop. I installed a Max-prop. The leak was
still there when the boat went back. Last haulout I grooved 1/2 around the strut, applied 5200 then glassed over. Cut a smaller groove and applied 5200 then
glassed over the second seal. Then applied a 1 in bead of fiberglass over the top. This has fixed the problem.
<br>
CATALINA should be looking into this situation. I would... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ We have the same problem on our boat. It is not a major leak (just a damp streak that leads from the post to under the engine) so I haven&#39;t gotten excited
about it. Ours leaks between the strut and the strut post and I suspect that the &quot;liberal amount of sealant between the strut and the post&quot;
wasn&#39;t liberal enough. I don&#39;t think there is anyway to fix it in the water, so we will just deal with it when we next pull it out.

			<description><![CDATA[ Don:
<br>
<br>
Given the age of your boat, I would take it back to the dealer and say &quot;it&#39;s broken&quot;. Then write back and tell us what the yard found and how
they fixed it!

			<description><![CDATA[ We have not had this problem but had a hairline crack at the point where the strut exits the hull.  Someone may be able to confirm the construction, but it
appears that the strut post is glassed into the hull after the hull is formed, that is the hull is cut and a post is applied.  The strut itself is then
inserted through the post and secured from within with a couple of through bolts.  There is a liberal amount of sealant between the strut and the post which
should prevent water from... ]]></description>
