2008 nautique 220 team taking in water

[wakehead]

Hi all. Question here. I have a 2008 nautique 220 team edition. I seem to be taking in water but not sure where. It’s trickling in and maybe it’s from the drive shaft but not sure. Can someone direct me where to look. Is there a way it can be checked. Just sitting, water seeps in from somewhere. All my ballast valves are closed so I know it’s not that.

mine was taking on water when i bought it, i found the cause to be the through hull depth finder, the gas tank had slide back into it causing it to move and break its seal, when i took it apart to clean the surface and fix the leak i found that previous owner had tried to stop the leak with what appeared to be househould caulk lol.

You can put it on a trailer and use a hose to put a little water in the bilge to see where it comes out. My SV-211 had a heater core leak, the water in the bilge was warm. Good luck.

Thanks guys. I am going to lower the lift and see where the water is coming in if I can. Will let you know

Do you have it ballasted? If rub rail seam is close enough to water line or below that could be issue. Mine was significantly leaking on my 211 couple years ago and had to reseal it
