[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5362027, member: 19900"] Do you have a bilge pump ? If so, make sure the outlet is above the waterline at all times. Used to beach my bass boat at a friends house with no problems until we got a bit of a rainstorm. It put a couple inches of water in the boat, no big deal but with the bow up on the bank, the water pushed the stern down enough that the bilge outflow port was now underwater. Filled the entire boat. Took a bit to figure out what happened. Most of the bass style boats don't have a ton of clearance between the bilge/livewell outflows and the water line when at rest. If 2 big guys wind up in the stern (landing fish, dipping in the bait well etc...) its possible that water is getting in that way. Looking at the photo, put some 3M- 5200 sealant around that fitting and see if that fixes your leak. [/QUOTE]
