Leak

[Rene Call]

Hello;



I have a 1991 Nitro 175. The Problem I am having is I can hear water running just behind my life well and just in front of my gas take. I water apparently lossing some water from my live well, and resealed the seams all around. The sealent took care of any water loss in the live well, but I can hear what sounds like a small trickle of water. It takes a couple of hours fishing and when I turn on the bulge pump. Water does come out....Any help appreciated.



Thanks

I'd check every through the hull fitting you have. Drain plug, Aereator intake, bilge outlet for cracks and lost caulking. Maybe recalk them. If your top cap of the boat is under water part of the time. The place where the hull is screwed to the top half it may be leaking there. If that don't get it fill the bilges with water and look for water dripping out. Then consult someone who know what they're talking about.
