Is my boat leaking or is it just my livewell

[Tfisher]

I was out fishing the other day did mighty good but thats beside the point we hit some rough water and water came over the edge of the boat well i thought i got the water out of it but the next day i hit the bildge pump and water came out is my boat leaking?????????? but what makes me think that its my livewell is that it dumps out from the back of the boat and it could be comming out of the hose that puts it out the person i bought the boat from said it never leaked and it had 50 hours worth of use on it thanks for the help but the real question is WHATS LEAKING??????????????????



Thanks TFISHER

Put it on the trailer, fill the bilge area full of water and see where, or if, water comes out.

My guess is your boat is a Fisher?

What kind of boat is it? My new Pro-V had a loose hose clamp on the aerator pump and every time I ran the pump, I would get water in the boat. That is one possible option.

Maybe nothing is leaking. Many boats that have a deep V hull will "hide" water in the bow because of the hull formation. Open the drain while on a ramp or some severe incline and give it a few minutes to see if any more water comes out.

I've bought two used Lunds and both leaked a little initially. I removed and resealed all transducer and other screws in the transom after which they were both dry as a bone. Something to try...

what does the brand "fisher" have any bearing on the subject?just because he says his boat is leaking,you automatically think it is a fisher.or a tracker,well,it might be a lund,or a ranger?

why is it someone says there boat leaks,or the thing is loosing rivets,everybody jumps to conclusions.
