My Lund aluminum boat is leaking. After sitting overnight the bilge will run for about 1-2 minutes to pump all the water out.

It has a live well, and a bait well.

Here is some of the things I have done so far:

1) Plugged the intake for the livewells and I still got water
2) Filled the boat up to the water line and nothing leaked out of the boat

Last thing to look at is the drain below the livewell tank in the front. (drains out from the center of the boat)

Any help would be good. I don't want a sunk boat.

Re: Leaking Lund

check your seams under the rub rail, it is a classic place to take on water and not realize it. when getting on and off plane water rushes up there, and if not sealed leaks in.

Thanks for the quick reply. Doesnt seem to be a problem when we are under way. It's dry at night and full of water in the morning.
