Having trouble finding leak. Tried plugging several of the holes and filling live wells but no luck. Any suggestions? Leak is big enough that bilge runs constantly

fill up the bilge and look for water leaking out? likely live well hoses or fitting but maybe drain plug? motor bolts can leak also?

Yep. And can be a bear to get to.
They are known to leak on the rub rail.
They don’t leak all the time with the rubrail. Usually just when the boat is moving.Originally Posted by stratosmich
would assume it’s a livewell fill or drain hose/fitting.
I had a hydraulic jack plate put on mine and it would take on water when running.
Places to look for leaks,
1. livewell hose, pumps, and valves
2. rubrail on stern.
Have someone place boat in reverse and using a boroscope camera look for water entering the bilge from the rub rail.
Unless you have a hole through the hull, it will be one of the 2 items mentioned above.
