Title: NEED TO FIX JET PUMP LEAK
Post by: surfrat45 on June 01, 2017, 02:45:32 PM: I took the boat to the launch ramp and it seems to be taking on a lot of water in a very short time, looking for someone close to Elsinore area that's good with chasing down leaks, just don't want to sink it first time out.

Where was the trailer? Was the trailer in the lake? Or in your driveway?

I'm trying to figure out if this is a plumbing issue or a hull/hardware issue.

Put the plug in and start filling it with water.

steering cable connections seem to always leak.

The transom adapter to the bowl is a good guess too.

thru transom exhaust? possible leaky exhaust hose or 'trumpet' to transom.

On plane or off plane makes a difference, too
