    WARNING! Check under you plastic battery box for water!

    Hello all today while cutting some new inline fuses into the battery cables I decided to pull the plastic battery boxes out of their holes in my 08 SAN 210 and on the port side found a puddle of water standing in the bottom! As you maybe aware these battery holes are slightly angled and have drains. The problem with my port side is it appears that the fiberglass under the battery nearest the drain has callapsed and there is about a 2" hole there. The worst part is I think the innerfiberglass and foam is all soaked with water now. I used a towel to soak up the water but water just keeps seeping in from the saturated foam. Anyway this really sucks and I'm gonna get ahold of the dealer but I don't see how I'm gonna get this dry so a decent repair can be made and lord only knows how much water has soaked up in the inner hull. Heres a couple pics from my phone. One is what of the starboard side for reference. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?

    pic 226 is the starboard side
    pic 229 is port side before I removed the water
