Hello SeaRay Nation!
I am posting this on a few forums within ClubSearay.com - so if you see this more than once, pardon me in advance...
Anyway; here's my situation: on my 2005 300 Sundancer (w/twin 6.2's and B3 outdrives) - every time (for about the past 2 years) we launch this baby (we dry-storage in between uses), lake-water starts coming into the bilge area from a location I can not detect or determine. And it's comes in at a rate that the automatic bilge pump will kick in within about 1 hour, if I haven't already turned it on myself...
But here's the real head-scratcher: within about 24 hrs, the leak has diminished on it's own - down to a "non-concern" inflow rate - and by the end of the second day, essentially non-existent! It's definitely NOT fresh water - or my fresh water pump would be always kicking in, which it does not.
All that said; does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? You'd think a lake-water leak coming in would be fairly steady, at whatever rate based on the nature of the location or source - but this thing "self-heals"! Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone!
