Is it true that if you've been hit once, you are more likely to be hit again? Because I've heard that there's a greater chance of you being hit by lightning twice than just once.Is any of that true?
i have seen this problem before it was condensation making it malfunction turn off the power that the electrical box and take the smoke detector down and look in the metal box it is connected to and if you see and sign of water seal the electrical box with some thing i used silver tape.
Jc'mon here. Have you ever owned a boat? Especially a steel hulled boat? You said it yourself- its rusted out. So drive her up on the beach, or learn how to dive, and do your own hull inspection. How much steel is it going to take welding this thing back together to make it good enough? Nobody I know of would attempt to use rubber sheets- and I'd bet good money and an ice cold beer on a hot day that if the hulls rusted thru, theres some serious structural damage that you haven't been able to see.
If the bottom is rusted out, you're not really buying anything but rust. The best help we can offer you is to discourage you from making this purchase.
Look into army surplusThe bottom has to be clean and dryUnless you glue the rubber on it will still leak Cement patch might work
you can go to Boats and Harbors or Northern Tools and find tarpaulins that are , say, 75 x 30 that would act as a diaper BUT zebra muscles ( ugh!) and barnacles on the bottom are going to cut thorough whatever you put down there and there you are. leaking again..
