Water in hull

Hep!! How in the world would water get in one of the pontoons and hw would I get it out? I am completely mystified.

Water can come in a variety of ways.

Drain plugs out? Rain will enter the plug holes.

Most commonly it gets in though the seat pad areas. There is a cap under the seat that can seep water if the seat pads come up a bit.

It can also enter in through a designed-in vent. Usually in the crossbar sleeves.

There is a way to find out where it is coming from: http://www.hobiecat.com/support/index-sail.html

On a calm day my Wave takes on no water.

On a GOOD day (hull flying and splashing thru the waves) my boat will take on a good pint each hull.

I figure it's normal operating procedure,
