I drilled a hole in my boat

5,371 Views· 02/09/21

I had bought a new speed&depth instrument, and drilled some new holes for the cables. It was afternoon, I was tired, I drilled and I drilled, and all of a sudden I had drilled all the way through the hull, and got a fountain on the floor. Luckily for me, I have a very skilled and helpful son, who – that very evening! – was on the way to his boat, which is at the same pontoon as mine. This Youtube-thing is always present in my mind, so I arranged a camera to film while we tightened the hole. I hope you forgive me for putting the blue bowl in the middle of everything… I wanted to have some bowls close, to collect the water in, but as it happened, they were of no use. My son agreed that I should do a video about the event. As he said: Everyone wonders how much water would come in through a hole in the boat – but nobody drills a hole on purpose, just to check. 0:00 Intro, background 0:58 I start to drill 1:46 Water comes in 2:50 Wooden plug in place, and I call my son 4:09 Our plan to do a more reliable fix 5:15 Fixing starts
