A buddy of mine has a 2015 Bryant 246 and just started experiencing leaks and can’t find the issue. He filled with water while on the trailer to check and nothing came out. He can’t tell if the water is warm because he can’t reach it. Any suggestions on where he should look or know of any issues with this boat? Thanks!

I've been using a GoPro and LED light taped to mounts in the engine bay. I'll take a pic tonight. Lets me monitor the engine area while on plane and under load. Hoping this points me towards the warm water leak.

Might help him as well.

*edit*......I'm assuming the leak isn't fast enough to sink the boat, or overpower the bilge pump at this point. I wouldn't do my method with that level of leak for obvious reasons. :D

That’s a great suggestion and will pass it along to him. I don’t think the leak is big right now. He just mentioned he’s been noticing some water getting in recently and he can’t figure out where. Thanks for your time with this!

Turns out to have been coming from the rub rail. He’s replacing all the screws and there was a slight bend in one area that created a gap.
