Hi guys, here's another one. Finally found the leak on my 05 280. Seems that the hose from the foot well ,at the entrance to the cabin ,to the through hull fitting either brook or became disconnected. Seems like I have to disassemble the forward part of the cabin, was wondering before I start has anyone done this or have any tips I should be aware of. Was thinking of drilling an inspection hole behind the garbage can just to see if I can see what's going on. thanks for any responses. Tony

I believe the inspection hole is your best bet. A small one you can get a bore scope camera into where you may have to cut out an inspection plate to repair if necessary. Unlike houses, boats never seem to go together the same way you took them apart even if you read the directions.

Amen to that!
