Re: Leak
Ed I have one through hull and it is visible and brand new and dry. I wish it was that though.
Barnaby how low is your bow eye? Mine is way above the water line so I know it isn't that. Thanks guys I will keep plugging along here. [ August 13, 2003, 10:53 AM: Message edited by: NJfishman ]

Re: Leak
Is the boat in the water all of the time? When do you see the water, once the boat has been sitting for a few days? or is it dry then you run it and then see water.. I had a problem were the bilge would be dry(trailer days)I'd put the plug in launch the boat. Take off and the next time I set the boat down the bilge pump would come on.. Pump it out. and it would happen twice every trip then stop. Problem was, when I would wash the boat(every trip)water was getting into the side compartments and laying on the outside stringer in the low point of the hull(no limber hole in the stringers).When I would bring hte boat on plan the water would run aft and into the bilge center section. drove me nuts till I figured out what it was. Added limber hole and solved the problem

Re: Leak
Just a thought, but when you checked your outdrive did you do it with the drive tilted up? Sometimes those cracks in the bellows are real small and hard to find.I saw one that didn't leak when it was down, but did when tilted up.Maybe just something to double check.

Re: Leak
Boat is on a lift the water is salt so it has to be coming in somewhere. The bellows is brand new it seems to only be leeking when the boat is at rest. I am thinking that it is the deck drains.
Thanks

Re: Leak
NJ,
I had the same problem on my 20cc i/o. I was in the deck drains . The fiberglass resin mix they used came loose and the water ran in. I now routed my deck drains to the transomnand filled the holes thru the bottom. JW

Re: Leak
Yeah that is what I am figuring. How do the new drains workout for ya? Did you put the balls on the outside?
