[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 503998, member: 12995"] Leaks might not show up by putting water in the boat, sometimes they only show up when the boat is in the water. I had a Boston Whaler jet boat that was getting water inside when sitting in the water. I brought it home and put water inside overnight to look for the leak and not a drop came out. I put it back in the water and was finally able to see it leaking past a seal near the driveshaft. My guess is the weight of the boat in the water puts more pressure on the weak spot. Just something to think about before you button everything back up. [/QUOTE]
