Leak found

[freezerfiller]

I finally found the leak that has been driving me crazy by putting in the drainplug and filling up the boat until something leaked. I was suspecting the thru hulls, but instead, I found a small drip around the drain plug fixture where it meets the hull. I then found the stream that was letting the larger quantity in at an increasing rate. It was in a crazy place. It was coming from where the starboard trim tab meets the hull. God knows what I'm going to find when I get there, but all the screws are there, and it's a fair amount of water, so I guess I get to see what's under there when I get home tonight...

Good news you found it. Bad news you have to deal with it.

Accept the challenge. It's part of the joy of boat ownership.

It turns out that there were 8 screw holes and only 7 screws. It looks like the PO changed the tabs at some time and didn't fill one of the holes from the old bolt pattern. I still have one drip that I can't reach under the livewell, but the two new ones (and the one that had me confounded) that I found should be repaired!
