Did you forget the drain plug or maybe it came loose also I see on here people talking about a scupper valve and replacing it with a stainless steel one it’s located under the swim platform it’s a one way valve lets water out but shouldn’t let water in good luck finding the issue

Did you every diagnose the issue? I have the same boat and I have done just about everything and still getting in water. I have one more thing to try but I have to take the access panel off and it can wait until the end of the season. I just may take it to the dealership at that point and have them look.
