252SD Bilge runs while floating

[jjblough]

Anyone having issues with the bilge coming in while just floating? I am familiar with the anchor locker flange issue (been there done that with my old AR210) with Yamaha’s. That’s not the cause.

I mean it’s supposed to run whenever there is water to be pushed out. You have water coming in somewhere.

Mine has been coming on when moored lately. Not previously a problem. I'm thinking I have debris in the drain plug thread letting some water in the hull.

The FAQ has a link to my ultimate leak finder thread. Run through that and reply to it if you find a new source.

Thanks! That’s gonna be my first check.

I remember seeing a post a while back where someone had the #10 issue around the swim deck. They pulled back the rub rail and there were massive gaps along the sealer/adhesive between the deck and hull. I get some of the fit and finish issues making it through, but that just seems huge.

Issue resolved. Yamaha tech at my dealer isolated the leak at the shifter cable. Yamaha did not properly seal it when built. Had tech check entire boat using The Ultimate Leak Finder thread info. No more leaks! Thanks everyone!

Perhaps we should license that checklist to the dealers???? LOL

Another winner!
