I finally got my boat (Ranger 375) out this week and noticed I am taking on water. The last time I used it was in July of last year(no leaks)and has sat in the garage until now. I cannot seem to find where it is taking on water. It takes about 20 minutes for the water to start coming up thru the floor drain and the bilge can keep up and actually gain ground. Any idea where to start looking for the leak or how to find it? Thanks
