Well, we have officially ran into a (possibly major) problem. I was able to find out where the water was getting in, just an above water level hole that the fish finder cable runs through. I 3M 5200'd that to death so I doubt water will ever intrude again. We aborted the launch yesterday after driving down to the ramp and I noticed a small line of "water" running out of the bilge, it was gas. At the pump I filled it up and accidentally had about 2 cups worth of fuel come out of the vent hole. Today after sealing up the fish finder hole, I opened up the ball valve to the pvc that runs below the fuel tank, and there was probably another 2 cups of fuel that started draining. After checking the back inspection hatch, it appeared there was slightly dried fuel right around the top of the fuel tank where the hose runs to the motor. I have a plastic tank, any thoughts?
. Found out the water is getting in through the hose to the live well, the foam under it is dry rotted so it appears to be leaking around the vertical bulkhead. Nothing a little bit of 3M 5200 can't solve. Also, I'd change my post to Splashed but I can't edit.
