    Boat leaking Through Bilge holes. Basstracker Pro

    Took my boat out for its maiden voyage and nearly sunk it. Can that much water come in through the bilge holes? I did not replace the old hoses as they were under the foam. I have the new bilge but am not sure how to get to hoses under the foam. Will I have to remove it all?
