Boat is Leaking, Any Help??

I'm with crazyfishnut. Put water in your livewell and leave it closed if it is leaking water should be dripping out of your drain plug.I have seen livewell pumps crack where the hose connects to them, letting water seep into the boat. Hope this helps. When you get it fixed let us know for future references.

Maybe it also could be that your plug in the back of the boat is not getting a good seal. This happen to my boat and water would slowly leak in, went to BPS bough a new plug put in the boat and haven't had a problem since.

i have a triton and can give you some info. i would remove my batteries from the boat, then, take the metal plate that has the auto circut breakers off. it is held in by 6 screws if im not mistaken. you can take a bungie cord to hold the oil resivore up so the pannel can be removed. this will allow you access to all the bilge and livewell pumps. you can see everything at this point, and im sure you will be able to see the leak. (it is also a great time to install livewell lights if you wanted to). another trick so to speak, is to take zip ties and put them around the pos cables and neg cables before you take them loose. this way you dont misplace or overlook one when you put the batterys back in. this is really handy if your running your electronics direct and fused.

almost forgot, after you remove the pannel. if you still dont find the leak. take it to the closest boat ramp and leave the boat on the trailer and back it in the water. with this pannel out, (if increased water pressure is needed to find the leak) you will be able to see all of the outside plugs that come through the hull and all your hoses (drain plug, and 2 aeriator plugs, 2 livewell fill plugs. i also have the triton schematics for the livewell system if you need me to email you the line/hose diagram.

could be the tube running from the speedo gauge to the pick-up on the transom if you have one. The tube runs inside the gunnel and is hard to see. My boat would only leak when going fast and took weeks to find.
