[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 479964, member: 22613"] Similar story with my 17' Tracker. Some days it would take on 4-6 inches of water, on others I only got a few drops out of the drain when loading up. I filled it and checked for leaks, never really found any. One day I looked over my shoulder while underway and noticed a good sized stream of water coming in around the side of the transom. The transom caps have a lip on the back, if the boat was listing because of wind or an uneven load, the spray coming off the side of the boat would hit that lip, turn and go inside the transom, filling the bilge. A bead of silicone fixed it right up. [/QUOTE]
