Water in skiwell

[Crownline 196]

I just purchased a 93 Crownline. Spent yesterday practicing trailering boat and had in the water only about 30 minutes. Was cleaning up last night and noticed that water was in the skiwell. There was approx .5" of water. Carpet is loose towards front of skiwell. Not a good way to start this new relationship. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks

Try posting your question in the Crownline section below, you may get more info there?
Also make sure your drain plug is tight and secure, that seems to be a culprit a lot of times. On my old boat I filled the bildge area with water while on the trailer on land becuase I had a similar problem, by doing this it showed me exactly where the water was coming from so I knew where it was getting in while in the water. Hope this helps.........Irv964
P.S. Nice boat by the way!

drain plug tight, any other thru hull fittings on the boat? also the rubrail is a leak point. when getting out of the hole the water can be pushed up to the rubrail, and if it is not sealed, water will come in.

My skiwell has a drain at the back. Check to see if the skiwell drain is plugged up.
