Leaking 95' Ranger 491V
My ranger is leaking water in... but here's the catch.
1. It's in pristine condition... not a scratch on it hardly.
2. It doesn't leak at all with just me whether its running through the water or whether is stationary.
3. With me and my father (me 180lb/ he 260lb) it leaks a very small amount a couple of cups over a few hours.
4. With four adults it leaks a couple of cups an hour when stationary/using trolling motor.
5. With four adults while driving the boat on plane it leaks enough in 30 min to sink the boat.... (you better keep the bilge running when driving).
6. I've tried my best to find a hole or crack but unless its where the trailer running boards are I don't see anything....
7. It does have a keel guard... is it possible the previous owner cracked the keel and put the guard on it to cover that up.... or does this sound like something else... (I hate to take it off if that doesn't sound like the culprit.. that things cemented on there with the worlds strongest glue..)
Thanks.
