I have 2 DUKWS and both are bone dry. I do have the prop packing nut
adjusted so you get 1 drop every minute or so while it's rotating for
cooling purposes as outlined it the manual. But I have left them anchored
in the lake for most of the day and have no water in either of them. It
took a while to get them to that point, what you have to do is go into the
water with the floor boards removed, have several people with crayons
circle where the leaks are. You have about 30 seconds to do this because
once the floor is wet you can't tell where the leaks are. You then just
weld them up. The hard part is when you get leaks under the cross ribs.
Then you have to cut out part of the rib to make the repair.
