DIY Leaky Boat Deck Repair! Fixing Head Vents & Skylights | Morgan 41 Refit

We had only a few days to get our 1976 Morgan 41 Out Island catch watertight before leaving the marina to head back to Texas! With no local marine supply store nearby, we made a trip to Ace Hardware to find quick, reliable DIY solutions to fix leaking head vents and cracked skylights. Watch how we adapt with coffee filter bug screens, super glue, and elastomeric Flex Paste to seal up the deck until our full refit begins. ⛵ ABOUT OUR BOAT & JOURNEY We're restoring a historic 1976 41-foot Morgan center cockpit catch, turning her into our full-time floating home and preparing for destination sailing.
