300/440/550 crack in hull question water inside??? question

[alberta guy]

I got a small dig in the bottom of my hull right beside the ride plate. Is there anyway to check the inside of the hull to see if theres any water in it? I was at the lake and wanted to keep riding so we just covered the cracks with silicone for the time being.

only way really is to either cut it open or stand it up on end and drill a small hole in the bottom of the back on each side. let it sit for a day or two and see if any water comes out

when I took my pump out, water dripped from the pump bolt holes. Those holes must go all the way through...?

they kind of go all the way through but above those bolts there is nothing but glue and more fiberglass. just took mine out last week and water came out of them too but that didnt mean thee was water in the foam
