Hello, all.
Brand new to the forum, but this is our 5th year with a Q5i. I have had zero problems with this boat and I?ve taken really good care of it. Sadly, last week I hit a submerged rock ledge. I was only going about 5-7 MPH. There is no change to the sound, vibration, or performance of the boat even at speed, and I see only the usual nicks and abrasions on the outdrive and skeg.
However?I now have to pump out about a half gallon of bilge water every hour or so, where I had yet to pump out a drop since I got the boat in late 2009.
I know it?s impossible to troubleshoot something like this over a forum, but I?m wondering if any of you have had the same thing happen and what you found. It might give me a place to start other than just putting it back in the water and standing on my head in the engine compartment with a flashlight.
