I have a 1992 Bayliner Classic 2252 22' Cuddy Cabin with the 4.3 Alpha One...
The boat had a prefect maintenance record until it was bought by the P/O and for the last 5 years it has been neglected... 2.5 it sat unwinterized and prolly the last 6 months it sat uncovered outside...
I spent the last month (with a lot of help from you guys) getting the motor and outdrive back into shape. I finally got it finished and ran it on the water yesterday...
I noticed that after I launched her and she sat for a few minutes while parking the truck and getting ready she had about 2 inches of water in the bilge around the motor... I figured no problem prolly left overs from the front bilges that finally drained back...
I ran it for a couple hours on the lake and it seemed fine the water was gone with a switch of the bilge pump and then it didn't take on much... after that...
I parked it over night and slept on it. It had been sitting about 30mins to an hour and there was water up to the bottom of the block and there was about an inch deep in the front bilge...
I think this is way too much water in that short of a time... I didn't see any major holes in the hull. The bellows looked ok from a visual inspection... I can't tell where the water is coming from...
Where could it be coming from? How can I find out where? How to fix it?
