Water was coming in through the trim tab hydraulic hose AND the transom mounted tie down. They are normally above the water line and don't leak but I was putting the boat in the water so it was wet for a few seconds. It's all fixed now but why did it leak from those places, I thought a Boat was supposed to be watertight???

Jax25- with all the problems so far this year I switched to the hard stuff, no cooler necessary
What's the stuff I'm looking for? Is it 5200 that's used for thru-hull fittings? Water just pisses through when I'm taking the boat in or out of the water.

Don't use 5200. It's glue. It will bond the hose in place forever. On my 24, I had water piss thru the tab hoses when big wave action would hit it from behind. I just pulled the covers and used regular white silicone. No more piss.
