rdupre Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 This is just a heads up for other Redfisher owners. I have been looking for a significant leak in my bilge. Turns out the sea chest stainless plate cover (intake for live well thru-hull fitting) had two screws missing and others were loose. I had to use screws that were larger (not longer) to get them to hold. I am surprised that these screws go thru into the hull. See picture below. The other issue is that the plate cover is directly above one of the trailer bunk boards making it very difficult to fix this issue. I basically had to take the boat off of my trailer and place it on another trailer to get to the stainless plate to inspect and fix this issue. I know it doesn't look pretty but it's fixed. Any comments for a better approach is welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VsteveV Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 How much water did you notice in your bilge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdupre Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 my best guess is 3 to 4 gallons every 30 minutes based on the fact that every 30 minutes my bilge pump came on and pumped water for about 15 seconds each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
