Denali 2460 taking water in rough seas

Postby Rman » Thu Nov 10, 2016 12:04 am

I'm a new owner of a 2004 Denali 2460. Great fishing boat and sea worthy. However noticed taking lots of water on rough seas, enough to get quarter of the engine swamped. Of course the main bilge pump didn't work and by the time i realized and activated the manual pump the salt reached everywhere on the engine. Lots of damage later. I wonder if other Denalis had the same issues? Did anybody found where the water gets in? I'm also geting a bit of rain water in the bilge when it's moored. Thanks for sharing from your experiences.

did you find out where your water was coming in from?

I have heard some say if the rub rail has damage it can enter through there.
Maybe check through the starboard inspection port to see if there is evidence of water . You could also check the port storage hatch that accesses the ski storage area. Might check that the deck scupper hoses are in good shape.

would like to know what you found.

That is a lot of water to take on, is there a chance it is leaking in through the lower unit seal?

I had the rub rail removed and resealed, checked all deck scuppers. New engine, and re&re leg...
I still think is coming from the bow area, somehow from the windshild...as the bow battery area bildge is filling up first. And the boat position in the water is elevated on the bow.
I installed another bildge pump in there... just in case... total of 3 bildge pumps , 2 automatic.
However still taking water...
