95 Grady White 208 - Where is my leak?

[Osprey]

Have a 95 Grady White 208, been fighting misc leaks since purchased last summer. Replaced all plastic thru-hulls with stainless, fixed other misc leaks around hose ends bait pump, etc but still have several gallons of water that drains after each time out. I tried pulling all deck covers while underway and checking with flashlight and by feel. Also have watched stern bildge area and never seem to have any water back there while underway. Where's the leak?

If its an sterndrive, could be your boots are cracked, hope not, but I found out hard way after I almost sunk in a marina on an over-niter.<br /><br /> Good luck<br /> Jim

Heres a brainstorm for you, put it on the trailer block up the trailer and fill the boat partially with water , making sure the boat is trimmed up the way it would be in the drink. You should be able to see some leak somewhere if indeed there is one, Simpleton in Raleigh
