I have a 12 year old 18 foot bass tracker which seems to be leaking not real bad but I would like to find it and fix it. How do I go about finding the leak?

Look carefully at hoses that go to livewells,bilge pumps,go over entire boat hull looking for issues.If no leak still found,I took a hose and started filling my boat with water,whilst in my driveway.What goes in,must come out.
Good Luck!

Welcome aboard:

Start by checking a couple of obvious things outside the boat: look at the rub rail and see if there's a spot that looks like it might be leaking, and check for cracks in the hull that might be leaking. Check all of the thru-hull fittings too (drains, vents, cleats, etc.)

While it's dry and on the trailer, take a flashlight and look for traces of water and see if you can follow it back to a source (or something that might be a source). Use a cellphone with a light to take pictures where you can't get your head back into.

If nothing comes of that, you may have to take it out and watch where it fills from.
