Rear access panel water leak fix.

[Dagenham Dave]

I am thankful the many threads on water getting into the bilge. I have this issue on the 2019 sx210 that I recently bought, and I believe the cause is water is leaking through the rear access panel that is between the clean out ports. I am looking for options of how to fix this leak, and if anyone has successfully done this, I would appreciate a description of what you did.

This is what most people use to fix that issue

Yamaha Mechanical Access Port Riser

Add vertical height to the location of your clean out port compartment's mechanical access port. Adding this custom "STARBOARD" CNC fabricated riser will raise your boat's mechanical access port 3/4" above the deck. Raising the access port up off the deck has the effect of keeping the bilge...

Have you sealed the clean out tray ?

No need for guesswork when it's an easy test to see if that's the first place you have water coming in.

Plug the cleanout tray drain if you have one, and start filling the area with the garden hose. Take off that inspection hatch to see if you have leaks around the cleanout tray edges (look inside the opening to see if there's any drips).

If not, then adding a riser to that inspection hatch is easy, either buy @JetBoatPilot's 3D printed riser, or buy a cutting board and fabricate one like I did.

Some sealant on the edges and seams of the riser, and you should have eliminated water from at least one trouble spot

To see how bad the water leaks put a cork in the drain hole that is in the clean out area fill it with hose water it just dumps through almost as fast as the hose fills it . Its mainly the entire clean out tray mine was sealed with a neo prene gasket and more screws. Also did the same to the inspection port then added a one way spa valve to the drain so most of the water can only drain.

The final repair was pulling back the rub rail and sealed that up I'm 95% water free in the bilge. I think its mostly rain water getting in

Thanks to all. Looks like I have a little work to do.
