Launched my 2006 RXT the other day and quickly realized it was filling with water - so back out it came.
Upon filling the hull with water at home on the trailer - it's leaking through BOTH - OPAS grommets inside the Pump cavity where the linkage goes into the hull ( Picture )
All the hoses ( including the one L-shaped from the pump to the Opas valve ) are in good shape and hooked up.
This was a really fast large volume leak at launch that filled it up past the drive shaft in a matter of 3-5 minutes.
Is the OPAS valve stuck or some other common problem that causes this unpleasant watercraft sinking experience ?
What would cause water to fill the hull so fast though the OPAS linkage Tubes ?,
