Water in bilge?

[out of reach]

I bought a new wilderness tarpon120 and can't figure out why i'm getting water in the bilge. Everything seems to be water tight and I even caulked some suspect areas ( screw holes, rod holders, etc... ). Can't figure out where it is coming from??? Should I fill it up with water and see if is comes out somewhere???

Also wondering who will be out tomorrow. Might take the yak or the boat with endless bait and the yak and anchor up, then launch the yak???

You might have a hairline crack somewhere. Those can be really tricky to find. Filling it up with water should work. Most cracks tend to happen around the scuppers or seat. How much water are you getting inside?

Seems like about 2+ gallons. First time out it was completely dry.

By the way if you see a 44' pacifica out tomorrow flag me down if in need of bait.
