Puzzling deck leak 95 chaparral

[Nhuber2117]

Trying to find this leak, looks like it may be coming from the stern somewhere. Could it be water in the hull penetrating the deck upon turning? It’s only on that side

Most likely that "box" filled with foam is water logged and water is coming in from the transom

It is not the cooler drain tube I can’t see any water coming from there

What does the water coming from transom mean? Like Outdrive seal?

And thanks for reply. This is my first “real” boat. It’s not a lot of water either. It basically soaks the carpet on the back corner. Their is also a about a gallon or maybe a little more in the hull after about a 3 hour trip

I ended up finding the leak... very easy fix they installed a fish finder and forgot to seal the hole in the transom where wires run to the speedometer. Absolutely no water in the bilge. Just installed an amplified bass tube
