Is my towing or trailering eye on my boat causing leaks?
I have a 24 ft Chaparral Sunesta 236 deckboat. I just bought it used and its an awesome boat. After a day on the water I noticed once I drained the water from the drain plug that I lot of water came out. Probably for a good 30 seconds. I think I may have a leak, what do you think>>?
First question: Is this a normal amount of water for a full day on the lake?
Second question: I noticed a potential small leak or damage around the trailering eye on the boat. If it is damage it would only have been caused by pulling the boat onto the trailer or while trailering. Is it likely that the leak is stemming from damage or from just a simple leak that can be repaired by some fiberglass or epoxy. Any boaters out there experienced anything like this that can shed some light on the subject?
water under the deck could be from your the damaged trailer eye. it could also have been from condensation or a deck fitting that needs re sealing. finding leaks is a process of elimination. since there appears to be damage to the trailering eye, repairing it is a good place to start.
here is a link to your boat owners forum where you can discuss your concerns.
