Ms. Magoo Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Magoo Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I believe it is only from the deck. It is always fresh water. I tested the live well and it is not leaking anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICH12 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 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. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
