    Thanks, although I haven't done the deck yet (soft core in one area) I have been sealing the leaks up as I find them (mostly just re-bedding the stanchions with butyl rubber and that one crack I found and reglassed.)

    Ericson 1970 35-2 - Advice needed

The first one I want to tackle is the freshwater tank. I don't know too much about ericson's but I have been going through the manual, it looks like this...
