Should not be leaking
Posted by: scott_f on Sep-24-12 5:04 PM (EST)

If the leaks are from the damaged spots, then more is damaged than gelcoat. The gelcoat is really just there as a scuff it up, looks good, UV protectant layer. Don't dispair though, glass repairs are fairly easy. Can you confirm the leak is from the damaged areas?
