Hello everyone...I'm Barry from North Palm Beach, Florida. I own a 2001 210 Logic cc ......Fantastic boat. Except..............The fish boxes all leak water, especially the 2 aft ones, they fill up with water every time it rains or when I wash the boat. I had my local dealer out to fix the problem, but the problem is still the same! Anyone have the same problem? Have a Great day.......Barry

I will be the first to Welcome you here! Please read through the Forum that pertains to your boat model. You hould be able to find all the info you need there. I can tell you that water in the boxes is a problem that we all have to deal with. My front 2 boxes drain out because of holes that are drilled from the factory. These work great, but there is still too much rain water that gets in while sitting at the house. Boost

Well we all just about have that problem....no big deal for me, after all they are fish boxes not dry storage. Hopefully yours will drain into the bilge, and not be so bad...
Also if you look in the search engine, there have been mods made for this good luck.

Hey Zeno, welcome!
I live in North Carolina, and we have almost as much rain as you folks do. I had the same problem with mine, and I've got them all draining well now.
The lines draining the fish boxes are subject to two things: Debris (leaves, dirt, etc) and mold. My boat had been sitting at the dealer for a year before I bought it, so I had problems after the first rain when I brought it home.
I had to first bail out my fish boxes with a large plastic cup so I could clear the debris and dirt in the bottom and keep it from entering the drains as well. Once I did that, I turned the hose on full blast, adjusted the nozzle to stream, and pressed it up against the drains to blast out the debris that had clogged them. I then used an oven baster to inject vinegar into the lines, and let that sit for a while before blasting with the hose again.
Haven't had a problem since!
My plan is to trickle a bit of vinegar into each drain once per year until I finally get around to buying a boat cover. Bleach might work as well, but vinegar is more friendly on the eyes and face when you're splashing/spraying.
