Pontoon stays in the water all year long tied to a dock. Been noticing one side floating lower. Drained it last weekend, and noticed similar problem again this weekend. Pulled out and dried it off. Looked for leaks and found none. It was at a slight slope so water was towards rear end of tube, which points to possible leaks towards front or elsewhere?? Drained it again, about 6-8 gallons came out in one week's time since it was last drained. No obvious areas show where water is leaking in.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

How do I detect where the water is leaking in?
