It seems like I take on a bunch of water every trip out. My last boat I would pull plug every couple of trips because it was always pretty dry. My 2016 mojo seems to have a lot of water every trip. Bilge appears to be working fine.
Anyone experiencing this? Has anyone contacted dealer or skiers choice and what was response?

If you upgraded your rear bags I would start by putting some pvc cement on the threaded fittings. Mine were all leaking slowly and they all seemed to slowly loosen on their own. I actually had an incident where the fitting completely came out of my port side bag and pumped water into the boat for about 8 minutes before I realized my bilge was running non stop.
I would start fit the fittings and go from there. That drastically reduced the amount of water in my bilge, although like you, I still have water in the bilge all the time.

I always have water in my center plug. Never in my rear plug. Never really though anything of it though, cause every boat I've been in always had water.

Could always check your shaft deal as well using a hose in the boat while on the trailer.
Btw, update your sig! :)
might be worth it to lift the engine cover while the engine is running and just look around for minute or so. You could have a leak from a hose or water pump or something that just is enough to accumulate water by the end of the day. After that i would check all the ballast fitting like was mentioned above. sometime you get a loose fitting.
Thanks crew! I will look check out the items you all suggested next time. We took a couple of big waves into back of boat yesterday so it could be that too.

Check your rub rail seal. Mine took on water after pulling out of shop this winter. Caulking cracked and separated allowing water to spray into port locker underneath rub rail. Was able to fix with a tube of marine caulk.

Was your boat affected by the paddlewheel service bulletin. My 2014 Mojo was. When the dealer completed the repair something didn't seat correctly. I was taking on water. My bilge had been dry prior to that. I took it back and they fixed that and the bilge has been dry since then.
What boats did this paddlewheel service bulletin impact? I've got a '14 LSV .....Quote:
