For last few weeks i have been taking in water, about 5-6 litres.
Open the bungs on ramp and bit gush of water comes out.
I bought new bungs, resiliconed all screw and nuts, put tape on bung thread.
All to no avail.
Then i thought about the drain holes when u hose out the boat.
There are 2 holes inside right on fllor level and a pipe that goes to back of tramson.
There is one on each side.
These it just on or below water level.
I noticed last trip that the carpet was wet just beside the hole inside the boat.
These holes have a rubber sleeve in side them.
So i put tape over the hole outside, on both sides.
Undone bungs on sat, a dribble came out. Opened on monday, not a drop.
Water must have been seeping in behind rubber and going up pipe, onto carpet, then drain under floor.
This has been a real problem.
Has anyone else had this problem.
I got stacer 489.
I still got holes taped up.


cheers
