Unreal, had some water under the step, I know this seems to be a issue. It rained hard last nite, no BS like 1'' of water on the floor in front of the step. I pulled all the life jackets out of the closet, in search of a leak, closet is dry. I then looked in between the back rest, bottom seat on the right side, it is wet back there, also along the front edge of the seat. i guess I am going to have pull the seat up, see if there is water under it some where. This is crazy.

Sounds like your bow rail is leaking to me.

I thought so too, but the side of the boat/interior is dry as can be, this is nerve racking. way to much water in one spot for a rail leaking, LOL

Yah I am not sure wtf it is coming from. Like I said side walls are dry as can be, ceiling is dry. Top of the seat base in the back corner is wet, bottom of seat is soaked, the side of the seat base dry as a bone, the floor by the step is well heres the pic. Unreal. It is def alot of water coming in

I don't know if this helps or not but I used to get a lot of water under my step and I found that it was what 1 maiden america is suggesting, the cooler drain. I found the cooler drain fitting on the bottom was a little loose so I retightened ad put a little silicone around it on the inside of the cooler and that seemed to solve my problem until I got in rough water. The top of the cooler isn't sealed around the top edge, it just sits there. At least that's the way mine is away. Kind of a poor design in my opinion.
