Water in my bilge

[MrMoose]

Iv read that before, but how do I do that?

Open up the access hatcch located between the clean out ports and puff a bunch of baby powder onto all of the surfaces. Go run the boat, then look for water tracks in the powder.

Well guess after what I read I should not be surprised but look what I found in anchor locker... These boats ride low. Often there is water in anchor locker at low speed. No doubt this is part of the problem. What’s the fix? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That exact issue has been well noted here. Just do a search of anchor locker drain

Check under the rub rail at the aft of the boat. Very common spot for a lot of leaks in these boats...

Hey buddy so in my efforts to solve the water issue i completely sealed the clean out port tray including the access hatch. Therefore I can’t do the baby powered trick. Is there a thread or link to the repair for leaking aft rub rail. My best guess is that’s my issue and I’d prefer to do the work myself vs involve the dealership because we all know what a headache that is.

I would just pull the aft rub rail. I think there is a single phillips head screw at the mid aft that then lets you pull off the rub rail. You likely will find a nice gap there to fill with 4200 or similar, then put the rail back and put the screwed-in plate back.
