So just a dumb question that Im sure I know the answer to but need to clarify. The cooler drains in the channel leading to the bilge, correct?. Are there anywhere else this water can go?. The reason I ask. I keep getting a little wet spot in front of my passengers seat about the size of a baseball. The only time this happen is when I have ice in my ice chest. The wet spot never gets bigger and where it is to me is odd. Any ideals.?2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury

Are you talking in the boat, or on the ground below the boat?Last edited by 1stinLA on April 11th, 2017, 1:35 am, edited 1 time in total.

In the boat right in front of the passenger seat ( about 3 inches in front of the seat pan). The crazy thing is the boat is not taking on water. Its got to be coming from the cooler. But why?2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury

If it does it while on the trailer, I would drag it to my dealer if close enough and show them. Or take a video of how it gets wet when the cooler is full and send it to BassCat. A strange one to me, and I bet BassCat has their hands full right now with getting ready for the OI, but I know someone there might know how it could happen.

Yea a new one to me as well it has just started this. And it hard to explain. Once i get home and remove the ice and dry vac the area it dries out. I removed the drain cover and used a inspection mirror with a flashlight it looks like its clear and should dump in the drain channel. I have no dealer and not even close. Maybe after the OI. Maybe i can get in touch with someone at bcb and talk with them. One thing Im gonna try is to plug my cooler just to verify its coming from the cooler.2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury

Same thing was happening when I put ice in my Margay, except the spot was much bigger. When I felt of it, it was cold. Had to be from the cooler. Next time out I plugged the drain and the wet spot still appeared. So I caulked around the outside of the drain pipe flange in the cooler. No more leak.
