Phinz13 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Went out yesterday and had a weird moment that I haven't been able to figure out. 2006 2200 TE Opened up the cast net locker and it was 3/4 full of water. First thing I did is turn on the bilge which eventually drained it - that made me realize that the bilge float switch must be damaged. Still haven't figured out how the water got in there. The only thing that I had done was open the valve for the saltwater washdown about 30 minutes before I found the flood. Im not the handiest person but I can manage some simple things so I will be calling my "boat guy" in a few hours. Anybody have any ideas on where the water may be coming from??

RodWorks Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 The automatic side of the pump has an inline fuse or breaker near the battery. Check that first, then check the pump itself for debris around the float inside. If this is the original it might be time to change it out.

SCFD rtrd. Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Wow, I'm confused. Are you sure this is a dedicated cast net locker and not a live-well or release well? The cast net locker should have a floor drain that drains to the bilge. I could be wrong or not understanding the original post, but for the cast net locker to be full of water, it seams the entire bilge would be full of water. Someone help me understand!

Phinz13 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yes, the bilge was full and it came up into the cast net locker, thats how i discovered the floodage. still unsure how the water came in because after i drained it and closed the valve on the SW washdown it didnt happen again.

JEM Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 It sounds to me like you have found your source of water. Something is leaking with the wash down system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 It sounds to me like you have found your source of water. Something is leaking with the wash down system. or livewell hoses, etc... you need to run all the pumps on the water..save yourself some money...take it to a ramp, turn everything on, one at a time, and observe...it will become apparant very quickly where you leak is coming from.... dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Would say you have leak in the hose to or from washdown pump. After that is fixed you need to address float switch, either fuse or bad float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
