Ballast spring a leak at the fill fitting

Like I said, that was my experience. I used 5200, river raft repair glue, I tried to temp repair with tear aid (worthless), I used the kit provided with the bags, everything outside of a PVC re-weld to make it like new...

It won't work long term. The bag didn't cost enough for a replacement that I would consider it worth the time I put into it attempting to fix it.

Agreed with all your thoughts on the longevity of any repair…..really just trying to limp thru the rest of the summer and then get a new one in the off season.

I decided to try the JB Weld MarineWeld first and so far so good…..after it dried I hooked up the bag and did a fill/empty cycle and no leaks so far.
