Re: Boat taking on water
As Bass mentioned, pump out the water in the hull and then try to determine where the leak is coming from... If it's from any of the through hulls then you will need to pull the boat to fix it. If that that thru hull is below the water line it should be bronze not plastic , the hoses should be double clamped and there should be a shut off valve on everything below the water.
If you drain all the water out and while in the slip with everything off you don't take on any more water, then it's not your thru hulls.. Now turn on your live well pump and see if that is leaking anywhere up line and same with wash down pump. If thats not it and you have an inboard or IO check the plumbing for the cooling system for leaks.
