The odd way water got into one of my pontoons
I am finishing up the restoration of my pontoon boat. It was damaged in hurricane Harvey.
The storage unit it was in went under water it floated to the top broke the Bimini ,the windshield and banged up the pontoons a bit.
After I had fixed the stuff I wanted we noticed water sloshing in the rear of the Starboard pontoon.
Well the welder I used found a Crack at the rear he fixed it and preasure tested it.
Now here is the kicker as we were putting her bak in the storage I hear water again. This time middle section.
He drills a small hole to drain the water. After he closed the hole we can't find a leak.
The vent on top of that section was lose and in the flood water came in there.

You are fortunate that was all it was. But watch the toons closely in the near future for signs of water intrusion.

We welded the holes we found shut and put new plugs in the top.
