I've had an annoying slow water leak for 2 seasons now. I tried patching areas that looked like the culprits to no avail. FINALLY, I was looking at the transom of the dinghy and realized the drain screws in! (I had never thought of it) And sure enough mine was not quite tight. I unscrewed the drain and there is a gasket in there was also flat and worn. Gasket replaced and I tightened the drain with pliers....Boom, leaky dinghy cured.
 
Just taking all the fun out of your life. Put that leaky gasket back in and live life dangerously.
