    Lots of water in the ski locker...

    I have a 2007 Sanpan 2500RE with triple tubes with a ski locker in the center tube. After a day of tubing the ski locker was completely full of water. the bottom of the deck has metal sheeting. That seems an insane amount of water to get in and I can't figure out where its coming from. thinking its coming in between the deck and the top of the tube.

      I have a 2008 Sanpan with this same issue. The Bilge pump was working then would kick out, I'm unable to climb into the locker so I used my cell phone and selfie stick to video what is going on in the hole with the pump and seen some wood chips looking debris under the storage plate floating around the base of the pump. I just bought the Tritoon used so not sure how that got down in there, or how to get it out. Mine appears to be taking on a lot of water somewhere during higher speed travel. Water level doesn't increase when going below 15 mph or when parked. 1.Any ideas how to tell where water is coming in? 2.Is being a tiny person the only way to service the bilge pump in the rear of the ski locker? 3. Any advice on getting debris out of bottom  of the tube (under welded in plate)?

      I have a 2014 Aqua Patio 240 Elite with the EXACT same issue.
      LOTS of water in the ski locker that is apparently getting in only when the boat is under way.
      It is NOT rain water entering the ski locker.
      There is a factory installed bilge pump, but it was not working, but only because I did not have the switch on.
      My concern is "why SO MUCH water?".
      There is also a "vertically" mounted bubble level installed on the baffle wall of the ski locker just above the bilge pump.
      I am guessing that this arrangement may be some kind of "ballast" system designed into this boat.
      Am I wrong?
