water in boat

[EZGO]

Does the boat sit outside also, with a cover, this time of year when I go out and my carpet gets soaked it will drain for quite a few days. Just a thought

No, my baby stays inside the basement where it's warm and dry.

When you get that figured out, let me know. I also have a ZX Skeeter and mine does the same thing, only part of the time. I think that I have it isolated it to the livewell drains. Mine is a 96 model and I have the manual drain valves that are located by the console. If I leave them open from my last trip to the lake, I get a lot of water on board. If I remember to shut them, not so much. Let me know if this helps.

I had the same problem, took my boat to my dealer they looked for possible areas that could leak and came up with zero. I decided to try it myself so I pulled my boat out to the driveway, put in plug, unhooked my battery so pumps wouldn't come on and started filling my hull with water. In a couple of minutes I noticed water running back out of one of my livewell pick up ports. I found a hole on one of the hoses were it clamped to the pick up port that runs through the back of the transom. I cut it off about an inch and reclamped it problem solved. Hope this might help.

Had the same problem. It was a leaking open/close valve from livewell.

Check all the aerator and bildge pumps if they are plasctic. I bought a used 06 Ranger that the previous owner let sit outside during winter uncovered, it filled up with water and cracked the housing on these pumps allowing them to leak the following spring when I owned it. I replaced the pumps and it is dry as a bone.

Also check where the hole is drilled at the top of the livewell for the sprayer hose to enter. Sometimes the hole around the hose is too large allowing water to escape into the hull when you take-off, if your livewell is full.
