2400 water in the bilge

[Ms. Magoo]

I have a year old 2400trs and I have always gotten water in the bilge. I was told that water gets into the bilge from the cast net locker.  Does that sound correct or should I expect a dry bilge? After washing the boat on my lift I have to run the bilge to pump out the fresh water.

So it is only after introducing water on the deck that you get water in the bilge?  Water does not get into the bilge from just floating the water? 

[Ms. Magoo]

I believe it is only from the deck.  It is always fresh water.  I tested the live well and it is not leaking anywhere.

Any and all compartments below the floor lever, drain to the bilge. My 23 HPS has two in-floor compartments, cast net locker and battery compartment (behind the leaning post) and both drain to the bilge.

Thanks for the help.

Gunnel mounted rod holders do also.

So doesn't the rear deck hatches.

Rear deck hatches drain overboard.

Front storage/fish box drains in the bilge as do rod lockers and anchor storage

The cockpit drains to the outside , unless you have a hole / crack / or loose hose clamp....then it drains into the bilge.  Check those lines while water is draining through cockpit floor drains....just a thought.

Yes, the rear floor anchor/storage/net locker behind the leaning post drains in the bilge and that is where the water is coming from when you wash/rinse the deck.
