The last two times out in my 1998 trophy I have noticed water in my Cuddy. I just replaced the bilge after the first incident. I am certain that the bilge works yet I get water in the floor of the cuddy. There is a little compartment on the floor just as you enter the cuddy. I think that this is the source of my water. It fills with water and it spills onto the floor. Should water get into that liittle compartment

I would be taking a close look at the transom seal and bellows, the well in your cuddy is probably the lowest spot when the boat is level, could it be that water is seeping forward from the engine bilge?

Water would collect there on my boat too.

It was the saturated foam under deck slowly leaking out and showing up there when the boat was in the water.

Only cure for me was to rip out the deck and the foam
