Bob,why dont you run it on the hose to see if it is the freeze
plug before you put it back in to look for the leak? I talked to

Can you see the water coming in?
Oddly enough, we had excess water, pulled the bildge plug female, recaulked, added one size bigger screws (3) and we have had a dry bildge since.
Just my 2 cents.

Have you had any luck finding the leak? Let us know. The alternative to repairing it is to trade it to me for my Checkmate and let me worry about the leak while your on the NYC poker run.

More info, I put the boat on the hose and ran it .NO WATER !!
When you float the boat, it instantly starts leaking righ from behind the coupler area. You cant see exactly from where because its so tight, but thats where it is presenting itself

Bob.
Im going with the transom assembly seal. Did you try to tighten up the assembly?
Or like Obnoxus pionted out the Swivel shaft seel. When the hydrolic rams are attached it is very hard to detect play in the assembly. I found mine was shot when I disconected the ram to swap out the drive this winter.
I would definatly want to know where its comming from before you run it again so you can keep an eye on it.
