Water in the bilge?

[Headhunter]

My buddy has a 2000 RF18 that gets water in the bilge when he washes the boat? Where should he look for the leak? I am thinking the over board deck drains? Any help here is appreciated.

Rod holders, hatch seals and anchor locker lid where rode passes through if has one.

Thanks and I will have him check but he said when he puts water in the cockpit

I have heard the sealant in the deck scuppers can dry out over the years.

May be around the scuppers as states. Have him check the screws holding the console in place and inside the console for voids. Is the console sealed around it to the deck.

Good question.  If water can get into/onto the floor inside the console, the large hole in the floor where the rigging/wiring penetrates, is an easy place for water to flow into the bilge.

Thanks everyone. My buddy found a cracked drain tube where it exits the hull plus a void under the console. He says he is good to go!
