Re: Water In Boat

No no no.....you have it all backwards. You're supposed to have Boat in water, not Water in boat. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. So have you crawled in there and tried to find out where it's coming from?

Re: Water In Boat

How old is your boat? What make?

Deterioriating transoms are not uncommon in older boats. (usually due to rotten coring). If the transom was flexing under the strain water may be coming in around the drive casing.

Re: Water In Boat

I am not clear as to what happened. Is the boat in the water or on a trailer? Did rain water get in the boat. If so, maybe it is under the floor trying to get out. Was it dry before the storm? A little more information would be helpful.
