We have a 98 290DA that searay has confirmed is not a cored hull. Today, while replacing bilge pumped, I removed the screws that mount the pump strainer to the bilge floor and was horrified when water started weeping out the holes. It continues to dribble out for the past hour or so, and if I stand on that section of the bilge it pushes the water out of the holes.
I drilled a small test hole through another section and it seems dry. What am I dealing with here? Is it just the mounting piece for the pumps that is likely bad? The boat passed survey 3 years ago when we bought it.
