Seat Post Leaking

[AustinV]

2014 721, seat post holes leak and let water in the front compartment. I bought this boat used, put the plugs in from Drewcraft and it helps, but they still leak pretty bad. Is there supposed to be a drain tube? The boat had a big plastic organizer in the front area, but I took that out. There is a black cap in the center of the compartment, I popped it out thinking that's the drain, but it looks like straight foam in there. Don't want to just water log that.

My thoughts are try and put a drain in if there's reasonable access, or do my best to cap them off with mastic/tape/4200 or something.

AustinV,

There's a drain kit that Phoenix has for the seat posts, I would reach out to them. I also installed the Bobs Machine Shop seat post plugs, they have a rubber o-ring seal and fit nice and snug - NO WATER. . .

I added one to my 721 several years ago. Here is a picture I found, I did something similar.

I'd like to know how the heck you got under deck to put that on there......

That was not mine! I did it, it has been a while. It is not as bad as it looks.

A buddy bought my 721, I need to get a picture of what I did.
