They will either stay sealed or leak right away. I had a set that leaked after only a couple dunks. Now I run a bead of silicon seal on all seams. That is easier that putting them on-off and running for a refund. |

Good idea, you put the bead along the edge of the lens?
I could do it now that they are new and clean, and it might hold better. |

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

I put anywhere I think there is a seam, yes especially the edge of the lens and where any wires enter the housing. |

Nice trailer Van.
I think I really got it down this year. This spring I took my wife and daughter out. We got to the ramp, I set everything up. Had my wife and daughter on the dock, and gave my wife a line. I backed to the water, released the safety and cable, backed about 4' and stopped the wife pulled it to the dock and tied her off. There were lots of people around, the usual judging panel, and those in line to pull out. When I came down to the tie up my wife told me that the crusty old guy on the bench said he was impressed. Pulling it out can be a pain at times, but I readjusted the guideons and it seems to be loading better.
One of the best people I ever saw launch and retrieve a boat all by himself with no assistance was Gary Corsetti. We could come into a ramp and both sides would have lines. He would back between em, and load her up and pull out before the guys that had already been tied up before us were even backed down.
