Hello, I have a 2005 NT32. Water has been entering the engine compartment through a hole on the starboard side. As you can see in the picture, the hole is under a platform that is built into the bottom of the boat. The water tastes like sea water. Has anyone else seen this before? I don’t see any thru-hull fittings that may be leaking above this hole except maybe the black water vent. Any help would be appreciated. Paul

This is a limber hole designed to ensure no water accumulates under that platform. Normally no water should be under that platform. Possibly sea water got in your engine room through the vents in your hull and got under the platform via another hole or fitting that’s been on the platform top??

I, too, had water in the engine room. I was initially concerned, however I replicated the problem by spraying water through the metal vents on the hull. Nothing to worry about but a reminder to keep an eye on it/have a shop vac or hand pup on hand.

On our NT 32 we found water entering the hull via the modified splash rails which were extended and rounded. The install was bolted but no backing plates or nuts were installed inside, apparently a haul with travel lift squeezed the rails and popped one away from the hull….. Having them re-attached and glassed over.
