normal water in the boat?

Check the seal around the the u-bolt that secures the boat to the trailer on the bow. The one you hook your winch strap or cable to. My uncle was taking a trickle of water through there every time he was underway.

yep.
i was thinking about that tonight while i was out.

its gotta be comming through something like or a thru hole... there is no other place.. no cracks in the hull...
u bolt is find. blew water up under the rub rail for a while with nothing.
I turned the shut off valve to off on the live bait well in and out.

90 seconds of water streamed out tonight. for about 3 hours of soaking.

tomorrow morning i will be out for about 5 hours and ill see how long it drains for.

im also going to fill some jugs to see exactly how much its holding.

driving me nutso....note a major concern, just one of those itches you just cant scratch.
