Why didn't Wellcraft ever correct leaky cuddy !!

[phatdaddy]

never had a problem with mine leaking, except during really heavy rainstorms and 8 kids in the cuddy and the boat sitting bow down. but as tsubaki said, i never expect anthing to stay too dry.

i think a cinder block can blow out of a boat while trailering.

Funny how a discussion about leaky cuddy turns into " what can blow out of a boat when trailered "

So, I'll jump into that - anything that can - will blow out of a boat when trailered !

You would get more of a on topic response I believe if it was a common problem.
Otherwise as Old timers are want to do, the mind wanders.

Mine leaks as well. Right around the windshield/hatch area. Not sure exactly why as I just live with it and haven't looked into fixing it.

Mine only leaks during a heavy rain while towing down the highway OR if I allow debris to get in the drainage areas.

Blue Runner hinted at something to check......there are drain holes in the tracks that can get clogged over the years and cause water to go the wrong way....check them.

Mine leaks when on the trailer with the bow raised, but not when sitting level in the water.....so when I have mine sitting on the trailer, but uncovered, I dont jack up the bow very high, just enough to keep water flowing out of the cockpit if it rains.

Heres a couple pics of the drain you are looking for.

I agree, if you want to keep whats in the boat going down the road, tie it down

Somehow I figured out early on to keep the bow down when trailer stored...neither the '74 0r the '95 got wet inside w/bow down...like RB says...above level just enough to drain floor deck...

Bgreene...did you get one or are you hearing this from somewhere??...
