Hi Everyone,
Hope someone can help me here, I am going crazy over this problem. Just purchased a flawless, one owner, 1996 Ranger 364V and took it out this weekend for the first time other than the test drive. It is taking on water like crazy, both when I run it and when parked in the water. I don't know why, although I am sure it is me doing something wrong (yes the boat plug is in and tight). I parked it in a covered boat slip last night and emptied the boat with the bilge pump, took almost 5 minutes to empty it. Left it parked under the covered boat slip overnight, it did not rain yet when I went back the next morning I had a small amount of water in the floor of the boat where the boat had filled with water overnight. I emptied it with the bilge pump before going on the water, it again took almost 5 minutes to empty the water. What is going on, why is this happening, is this normal to take on this much water when running the boat and also when the boat is parked in a covered slip? Please, I need your help and advice on what to do. Thank you so much for your reply and have a wonderful and blessed day.
Rick
