I dont know what to do now. We had to give it a fair old push to get it through, there doesnt apear to be any visible damage though.

 

[BigC]

Must just be a leaky seal then Ben.
You'll have to source the leak, trim back the silicone (dont overlay silicone on silicone) and apply a new silicone fillet.
Thats all you can do M8

Well its empty again. Still clearing yesturdays mess up. So ill have a go. Cheers mate

The only thing i can think depending on the tank connector is over tighting makes the seal squash up ?? give that a check! Good Luck!

 

[ben1987]

I think that no i have it off the stand it may have bin the tank connector. Theres a wet patch under the back corner and it looks like its seeped along the bottom edge to the corner of the cabinet, il gunna seal the whole side and connector to be sure though

Yikes, trials and tribulations. Good luck Ben

 

[ben1987]

Cheers ski, blasted loads of silicone in it yesturday. Going to try a fresh water fill later.

 

[Trod]

Why doesn't anything ever go right first time What a day you must have had

Hope water fill goes well keeping everything crossed


Marine's should come with a health and wealth warning
