If mine wasn't completely dry around
Posted by: jackl on Apr-16-12 8:17 AM (EST)

the coaming or on the deck portion, I would get rid of it.
I expect it to leak a bit around my body, but not much.
Just this past fall my wife and I retired our old ones, that were leaking badly. We replaced them with the same, and I was glad we did when we went across Tampa Bay in six foot breaking white caps.
I am sure we would have been in trouble with the old ones
