Leak by live well drain???

[ssaamm]

Hello, dropped my boat in the lake yesterday. Pulled it out,and a lot more water than usual came out out the drain plug hole. Seemed strange so I dropped it in again today and same thing happened. Had to run the bilge quite a bit. I pulled it out and put duct tape over the live well intake and live well drain holes on the transom. Yes, I had the plug in, too. I took in no water with the tape on. I took it off the live well intake and it did not take in water. I took it off the live well drain hole on the transom. Water flowed in, and the bilge was running again. Seems like I have zeroed in on the problem--live well drain hole leaks.I have a 2003 Cresliner Fishawk. This had never happened before. This area is virtually impossible to get at for me anyway. I put a mirror through a hole in the back where you can access the bilge and live well pumps. I even put my I phone back there to get a look. Things looked like the hose was in tact, except for a red plastic piece that wraps around the hose next to the hose clamp? I did just have a new floor and wood put in last week by a boat repair place. Is it possible they could have bumped something? Or, taken it off and not reassembled it properly? I have a trip to SD this weekend. At least if I plug up this hole I should be alright for the short term. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Thanks, Sam

I would be bring it back to them if it never happened before they worked on it!

Take a bucket on your trip to SD and be sure and wear a life jacket?

The hose is either not properly hooked up or the hosed was damaged or cracked when they were doing the work. Bring it back to the shop. Its probably a pretty easy fix for them. A few screws probably hold one of the panels in place. They should know where to look.

Thanks for the replies. I took it back to the shop. They were good about it and eager to straighten things out. It's still there. Hope to get it back on tues. thanks

It's fixed. Drain hose from the livewell in the bow came loose. It's reattached and all is good. I shouldn't need the pale and life jacket now. I'll have the life jacket close tho.
