 Topic: Open Bow Water in Hull?Posted: August-06-2007 at 6:55pm |

I just bought a CC SN 1994 open bow and it takes water over the bow once in a while when I have others driving it and pulling me. I noticed when sitting at the moring that it tilts to the starboard side and have been curious since. This weekend I noticed that it seems to hold water on that side up to the floor although the bildge in the center is relatively empty. I've also noticed the water line from the lake dirty water is hiugher on the right than the left so it is definately off kilter. Can anyone help diagnoise this problem and suggest a solution.

Sometimes engines are a bit off center and result in the boat laying more to one side than the other.
Keep in mind that the engine is the heaviest thing onboard. |

I don't think a engine could be that far off center to notice a tilt. I've got a feeling you have very wet foam or trapped water on the starboard side. You should check mounts (swim platform brackets?) and thru hull fittings on that side.
