[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 428933, member: 12995"] Filling a boat with water won't always show the leak of water coming in, you need to put the boat in the water with the weight of the boat displacing the water to show the leak coming in. I had a Boston Whaler jet boat that developed a slow leak while it was in the water so I brought it home and put water in it to try to find the leak and nothing leak out at all. As soon as I put it back in the water, I found the leak coming in. There isn't as much pressure from the water inside the boat as there is from the weight of the boat in the water so it acts like a one way leak sometimes. [/QUOTE]
