95 Speedster taking on water

[iamgretzky]

Had boat out on water. Ran fine. Some water at feet. Drained when accelerated. Tied boat to dock. Came back in the morning and boat was almost submerged! Engine compartment was completely full. Both engines covered and about a foot water in the deck area. Quickly got boat out of water and pulled drains to drain water out. Got all the water out and pulled plugs and thankfully I had power, blew water out of the cylinders. Let dry for a few hours and took it back to the lake and floated it off the trailer. Started it and let it run for a bit. Watched in the engine compartment...no leaks. Turned it off and sat for half an hour...did not see any water coming in. I'm at a loss...

Thanks. I've read that thread. I've left my boat in the water for weeks at a time with no issues. I've replaced one of the drive seals (port side), new neoprene ring on pump and am going to seal around anything going through the transom.

My 96 challenger started taking on water this weekend. After getting it drained I backed it back in the lake and found the water coming from the exhaust boot that seals the outlet through the hull.
