[cool]It takes a real he-man to hold even a small section of an inflated truck tube under water. But, if you have a general idea of where the leak is, it is faster and not as messy.
On several trips, I have stripped the leaking tube down while still at the lake's edge, and aired it back up with a portable compressor. Then I just wade out into the water and look for the leak. As long as you have something to mark the hole, that saves some fuss back home. Of course, if you have hiked a mile or so to the lake, that ain't so easy.
