So I take it you have this issue also, or you thinking hypothetically here?

Hypothetically, BUT i have also noticed water in my locker as well when i know none should be there. I'm pulling mine out Saturday and taking to the lake to get it hot to change the oil, I'll check then. I won't be suprised if i do though.

I'm really having a tough time with all this water "under" our ski lockers coming from rain water over time. I have a great cover and have not put water over my bow once this year. I have not drilled a hole as of yet because I'm still reading to see the out come of this issue.
Could the water be coming from under the gas tank in the older boats that do not have a drain plug under the gas tank??? Am I missing something here??

T100 - look at post #76 of this thread. I'm thinking that water can, and is, entering anywhere that the black stringer structure is not sealed to the hull properly. So to extrapolate your comment above, water that is below the gas tank could be sloshing forward though a void in the sealant between the hull and the stringer structure, and then it settles below the ski locker because that is the lowest point in the boat.

Thanks mnpracing,

So this is what I decided to do to get the water out for the winter. As soon as I started to drill water came flowing out and a lot of it. Water was right to the top. I went with the larger 6" access hole to shop vac the water out.

Water is still leaking out as I covered up the boat, I'll vacuum more out tomorrow.

But it's not a defect though.............
