  • 2005 fxho

    The last few times I have gone out I have notice a little water in my hull. However could not find anything. Well this past weekend I found it I have a pin hole where the lower block mounts to the head. Was thinking gasket but it fills like there a hole in the metal. What you guys think?

    It looks like the head gasket mating area. I suppose if there is corrosion in that area it could "rot" through and leak. Are using this in salt water?

        Can you get down there with a mirror to see it? If it is corroded through you would need to weld it for a permanent fix. Possibly JB Weld or similar for a more temporary repair.
