Getting a lot of hot water in bilge. No obvious leaks in the cooling hoses in the engine compartment. Under power, hot water seems to come up through the bilge drain ports. Anybody have any idea where this hot water is coming from?
 
Water box is probably busted or leaking if you’re not seeing anything leak in the engine compartment. The bilge hole In the engine compartment runs from the back of the boat where the exhaust water box is. I’d pull the clean out tray and inspect the exhaust system.
 
X2 on remove clean out tray and hold safety switch down.

I had clamp fail and warm water filled side with battery confirmed location.
 
Thanks. I'll check it out.
